Exactly what I just proposed. What I don't know if how you can with 
multiple repositories offer an "overlay" of a package already existing 
in Debian.
You already have in Debian e.g. gnustep-base and GWorkspace.app but 
want to offer "yours".

The advantage, over the runtime, is that they could be packaged not 
respecting debian choices of FHS, but be packaged in gnustep layout.

Since we don't depend on systemd, I think the same packages would work 
on Debian, Devuan and Ubuntu. Could prove interesting.
