hey team! I’ve been thinking about extending Pants with a new target

debian_package

that would let users create a Debian package from a PEX file. This has been my preferred way to distribute PEX files so far. I package PEX files and then run a few lines of Bash that produce Debian packages as part of the CI pipeline. However, I think it could have been a useful feature to have available OOTB as another binary artifact target so that people don’t need to rely on custom shell scripts. I’ve described the idea in here: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/12421. Keen to know what you think.

Seems reasonable to me. Very well presented and worked through proposal.
