I've contacted Christoph Berg about .deb packaging. He is looking into
it but there's an extra complication in this case ... the Debian
philosophy and its possible conflict with how Maven builds things.
Who knew? I didn't. Christoph is continuing to seek a solution.

I reached Dave, and essentially StackBuilder will add our installer to
its list and invoke it with options selected, but providing and building
said installer would be PL/Java's job. That'll take making buildfarm
arrangements somewhere to do official MSVC and OS X builds, and developing
a more traditional does-it-all-for-you style of installer, perhaps
built on something like IzPack.

Short of that, it would be nice to see about at least getting
a Homebrew formula and MacPorts port, as options for OS X sites,
especially as El Capitan dropping the openssl headers made the
source build more fiddly.
