As a FOSS project which publishes debs, it's a real hassle using current tooling. The tools are heavily biased towards the needs of distro maintainers, forcing projects into overly complex workflows which are overkill for a small numbers of packages. Features that would benefit smaller repositories with more frequent updates are limited or missing.

The other options is to DIY without tooling (essentially, write custom tooling as scripts or whatever), which is messy and full of pitfalls to the inexperienced.

Yup, this was similar to our experience as well. If publishing is still a source of toil for you, feel free to reach out at [email protected] - we'd love to see if we can do any dev work or hosting pro bono for your open source projects.
