Packaging Kubernetes for Debian

Yeah I don't disagree about the review resources for openSUSE, it is a bit of a shame. Though I'd still argue that having distribution maintainers have to do busywork to maintain packages which are just wrappers around language packages is inefficient (even though Fedora and Debian have shown they can handle the review load). Ideally distribution maintainers would only ever have to step in for critical security or other such fixes IMHO.

That is the idea (and a laudable one), though to be honest I'm a little pessimistic that much will change for the vast majority of projects.
