What's wrong with Deken?
at least there you usually have a responsive maintainer that might be interested in fixing any bugs.
I understand you can trust Debian to have a responsible maintainer for each of their packages and I understand it benefits the Debian-based distribution users the most if any efforts in bug reporting and fixing goes to those packages. Nevertheless, in Deken you immediately see who has uploaded a certain package and you can contact the uploader in a similar manner. I don't see why you are implying that a Deken package is likely to be less well maintained. After all, in Deken a bugfix can be made available immediately and user don't have to wait up to two years. Also, an improvement might be made available for many platforms at the same time, not only for a subset of one.
