Hi,

One of the things that looks difficult on Linux is installing software.
We as experienced Debian users know that the most simple way for installation 
is apt-get based :)
So instead of the Windows model (downloading package, installing with 
per-application installer) we have an installation and configuration 
framework featuring update possibility.

The problem are packages outside our usual apt sources.
Now the idea or question is:
can we come up with a schema for an URI for apt sources that can be put on 
webpages instead of the download link.
So that, for example, I could go to sourceforge, search for a program, click 
on an "apt link" in the results and have it added to my sources list.

Cheers,
Kevin
