That is why I propose the idea to provide a separate, maintained repository 
outside of debian.org
but compatible to it...

People just
1. add some /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnustep.conf to e.g. deb.gnustep.org (see 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository)
2. download and install some GPG key
3. then apt-get update
4. and apt-get install gnustep
5. later apt-get upgrade

Same can be done for Ubuntu.

So if you already build your own packages, why not publish them in such a repo? 
Incl. objc2.0?

In my proposal it could be a member of the GNUstep community so we don't have 
to wait
for someone from Debian core...

Nikolaus
