To be honest, I have never built a Debian package nor am I deeply familiar with the process.
But all the pieces we're considering have Debian packages, i.e. PageKite, OLSRd, and for Unhosted there is OwnCloud, which has been considered a number of times on this list already. There really isn't much new about the proposal, just to help assemble a few things to the point where they can be demo'd at events and understood by end-users. It would help show the public that FreedomBox is real..
