Might want to get at least Mark and Markus on this list to join the
discussion. Maybe even going as far as just sending a note to wikitech-l
about the existence (I may have missed it, but I think it was only
announced to engineering@?).

Hi,
a while ago we agreed to set up a public Debian repository for WMF-developed
software (MediaWiki, Parsoid, ...). To make progress on this we need to make
a decision on the repository layout and versioning scheme for major projects
like MediaWiki core. To get the discussion on this going again, I created a
wiki page summarizing the options at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Packaging
The main candidates are
* major versions in package names ('apt-get install mediawiki-1.22' plus
'mediawiki-stable' meta package), and
* separate repository sections for major releases.
I'm looking forward to your input on wiki or here,
Gabriel
