[Bug 2136905] Re: [needs-packaging] debpkg

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Thanks for comment! I understand the concern about the name being
generic, but I intend to evolve this into a tool with many generic .deb
package related functions. The namespace is free, so it should be
allowed to be used. There was many years ago another debpkg but it is no
longer maintained and it is removed, and it didn't end up on any
reserved namespace lists, so this should be fine now too.

Title:
  [needs-packaging] debpkg

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Debpkg is a command-line tool for downloading and installing Debian packages
  from URLs. This tool simplifies the process of installing .deb packages by
  handling the download and installation in one command.

  This is a very early version 0.0.1 and will have lots more features
  later that hopefully simplify Debian packaging related actions.

  This was initially uploaded to Debian NEW in November, 2025, but
  decided to upload now in parellel to Ubuntu too as the Debian NEW
  queue is processed by just one person and it takes months for packages
  to get through.
