Developers: What would you like to see happen to facilitate this?
The most painful part is probably preparing the packages, so a 'packagefy' service comes to mind. A sort of py2deb, only server side - IMHO there is no need for the developer to manually know/create .desktop, .service files, experiment with icon sizes, directory layouts, postinst hooks, etc. Of course, when you create the package in that way once, it's always easier to tweak that than start from zero (even if you have helpful Wiki pages).
