Huge +1 for me.
It's a great way to provide production environment with a single package.
I'll gladly help to improve it.

  Restarting the vote since the first one was a bit
fuzzy, too late in
 3.2 cycle and I made some required improvements since then.
 The idea is to make as easy as possible to install production ready
 XWiki Enterprise (and others later probably) on debian/ubuntu.
 Here is what is provided right now:
 * a "common" package which is a base package containing a XWiki with
 everything except the hibernate setup (but it provide some templates
 which are used by other packages)
 * a "tomcat-mysql" package which depends on xwiki commons, tomcat6,
 mysql-server, libmysql-java debian packages and make sure a MySQL
 database is created for XWiki and that it's properly added to tomcat
 applications
 * a "tomcat-pgsql" package which depends on xwiki commons, tomcat6,
 postgresql, libpg-java debian packages and make sure a PostgreSQL
 database is created for XWiki and that it's properly added to tomcat
 applications
 * I wrote a script to run in a cron which update a Debian repository
 descriptor (Packages.gz) in releases and snapshot maven repositories
 and also create a virtual "stable" Debian repository which contains
 only stable releases
 * it of course follow Debian standard path (configurations files in
 /etc/xwiki/ etc...) and you get nice conflict resolution tools when
 upgrading files thanks to dpkg
 Some links:
 * jira issue: 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-985
 * design page: 
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/DebianPackage
 * code: 
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-debian
 * the script: /home/maven/xwiki_scanpackages.sh
 WDYT ?
 Here is my +1
