Doing your own package with own configurations is not doing a
distribution. It's doing a .deb and putting it in a local repo. Then it's
just a part of the apt update/upgrade process.

Your own package don't change regular packages, it just runs scripts and
puts configurations. Just as ansible does but more integrated in debian
packaging system.
