For example see [1][2] for (some) relevant sub threads. Quintessence, in my opinion, was that there should be something like an Ubuntu PPA for Debian, but with a slightly different focus and purpose. That is, from developers only for specific tasks. For example to supersede the current practice of developers to upload their packages non targeted to the main branches everywhere but not really transparent for their users. That said, the realization mostly suffers from the fact, there is no software available to do this on the software side, as Launchpad is not free software, and usable alternatives don't exist.
