I think a PPA is currently the best option to provide high-frequency
releases. For debian there will be a similar thing, but it is still
vaporware at this point.

This should be doable. None of the issues mentioned in #3202 would be
blockers for uploading there. Things that are blockers:

1. We need a proper debian/copyright.
2. Solving the bundled-js problem. Alternatives:
   a. Copying system-provided js libraries at build time. Unlikely to
be done in the short-term, due to the many dependencies.
   b. Providing the required js in the dist tarball, ideally making
sure that make clean does not remove them (ie, allow building twice in
a row). This requires documenting the license of all bundled js
dependencies in debian/copyright.

I have yet to try the merged packaging, I hope to do this soon.
