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

[Otto Kekäläinen]

If Debian rejects due to the name, I will rename the package in both.
With current versioning and git repo layout the Debian version is
"native" and this Ubuntu version foreign.

Main reason to have this in Ubuntu *now* is to avoid being stuck on
Debian NEW and get start getting users and real-world feedback as I
develop this feature by feature.

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.
