a reminder: I provide deadsnakes on my own time for free. I am not paid to provide these packages and though I have some limited sponsorship through github sponsors it is nowhere near a sustainable income or even close to what would cover the time I invest into deadsnakes.
launchpad makes hosting packages for ubuntu very easy -- they provide build infrastructure, hosting, and an ecosystem to make PPAs successful. others (debian, debian-derivatives, etc.) do not have this and so that must be procured and maintained separately.
though ubuntu shares the packaging ecosystem with debian and some debian releases occur at similar times as ubuntu releases the packages that I build for deadsnakes more-than-likely do not work for debian.
fortunately, if one were willing to roll up their sleeves a bit: one can take the existing sources, rebase their patches for another distribution, and build binary packages for them. but it would be a lot of work to maintain (and not even to mention host!) that I just don't have time for for free. I also don't personally run debian so they'd be much lower quality / untested packages.
that said -- if someone wants to sponsor this work I'd be willing to entertain this. I can be contacted via my email address in my github commits (the .edu one)
additionally, if someone wants this built for themselves or for their company personally I can also be contracted to do one off or ongoing builds.
