Comment 5 for bug 1486694

In case you are looking for a more broader solution that brings among other things also systematic, continious package building and testing, there is another option.

Have the elementary OS packages build with the http://tanglu.org/faq infrastructure. This debian distribution project has now implemented the most advanced community package build system to and repository creation. They have expressed that are willing to support additional desktop environments and would help you getting up to speed.

It works like this: New source packages versions are uploaded to Debian experimental and propagate to testing and stable there (or directly to tanglu during debian freezes), but the tanglu infrastructure is able to manage custom releases.
