I think it’s a great idea, specially as the Debian/Ubuntu folks do seem a bit 
“orphaned” right now with the disappearance of the Tryphon packages.  Getting 
there basically involves three large steps:

1) Get Rivendell running on the platform of choice.

2) Package Rivendell, using that platform’s native packaging system (dpkg / 
apt-get in this case)

3) Work up an installer

Patches and other mods to improve the user experience on Debian/Ubuntu will be 
gratefully considered.  Just open an issue or pull request on GitHub as 
appropriate.

Cheers!
