official .deb package

The AUR package is a nice UX because it sets up the role user automatically, takes care of file ownership, etc. It would be nice if we could build our own debian package that would do this.

notkoos points out that the Ubuntu PPA system would probably require us to build with an old version of Go. Other options include:

1. Building the .deb ourselves and distributing it along with other release binaries
2. Hosting our own package repository (Packagecloud, aptly, debrepo), although we may not want a workflow where apt-get update can update (or even restart) a running oragono instance.

kodah suggests a split approach: "why not write a shell script provisioner for people who are fast and loose with their permissions and distribute a release and corresponding docker image for others?"
