I at least believe that we shouldn't create a new URI standard just for debs. It is clearly for the best to get as many packages into repositories in general (because of updates etc.), and into extras especially. Having a simple parser for deb-files could be a good idea, although not all deb-links contain ".deb" (because of redirection etc.).
