> the .deb ecosystem still feels like its stuck in the late 90s linux era to me.

Can you elaborate, please? What do you mean by this?



Quirky, clunky tooling with a bunch of arbitrary shit you have to memorize to use correctly. People enjoy that kind of thing after they learn it.


Enjoy? No. But yeah, it gets easier once you've done it a few times.


Not really enjoy doing, but enjoy knowing arcane shit even if it doesn't make sense.


Have you anything to point? I don’t remember any non-sense in packaging a deb.
