Thanks a lot! Another option is to integrated Debian packing into mediawiki's CI (aka jenkins). If the mediawiki's release process is "good", there's hardly any maintenance work todo: Updating dependency definitions and distro names according to debian is the only thing I've in my mind atm. However, this requires mediawiki's release process to include tested upgrade routines: For instance: If a database-update is needed, having a readme-file mentioning some manual steps is not enough. This somewhat implies that there are integration-tests for upgrade-scripts that are a) integrated into the release process and b) can be used by the debian packaging jobs If this is up'n'running, packing for ubuntu is easy to add. I don't know if mediawiki is there. I cannot say anything about the shape of the release-process or likelihood of this setup.
