IIRC somebody already created one. But it was probably equal to
downloading the new tarball image and replacing /opt.

Sure, but also it would be a lot of additional work. New versions do not
contain just new /opt but also changes to init scripts, various
settings, removed and newly added packages, new kernel and other stuff.

It's also easier if you can fix bugs against one certain configuration
of the whole system - that's clearly advantage of distributing whole
image.

So yes, i would be nice to have debian package, but i cant
create/maintain it (because of time constraints). Somebody else would
have to do it.
