I believe the core problem here (that led to containerization, application images and alike) is that correct packaging for most distros is hard.<p>There are tools like fpm or even checkinstall that can build simple good-enough-but-not-really packages, but I think maintaining a &quot;proper&quot; Debian packaging requires some pretty arcane knowledge that&#x27;s spread around various pieces of documentation (and maybe I&#x27;m just stupid, but also a lot of trial-and-error).
