Dear friends, How about having your own package archive which gets updated when you see fit (e.g. with each release)?
Examples of projects with their own package archives are: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads http://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/manualinstall http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html This way Debian/Ubuntu users can easily get rbutil once they set up the source AND get upgrades when YOU think they're ready. Launchpad.net offers an archive service. Many blessings.
