The problem with .deb and .rpm is that their spec file format is horrendous. I've packaged multiple RPMs and every time I have to do it is a complete PITA, lots of quirks, macros, flags, etc. The official docs are like a deep man page and do not have simple use cases, like, create a pkg for a binary or create a pkg for a binary with systemd or how to distribute a pkg of .so IMO if the .deb and .rpm maintainers invested some time in modernizing their official pages with lots of quick starts and guides it would bring a lot of developers to their side. (And in this specific case they needed more than Linux support)
