[Bug 1921939] [NEW] Create Upstream Repo

[Bryan Quigley]

Public bug reported:

I started investigating this due to software-properties in Debian being
listed as under-maintained per https://mako.cc/copyrighteous
/identifying-underproduced-software

AFAICT the source of truth for this package is in the current Ubuntu
packages.  Would it be possible to make a real upstream repo that both
Debian and Ubuntu can eventually pull from?

Today, the Debian package has no updates for a while and I get that many
of the additions are for Livepatch/other ubuntu specific things. If it's
better for software-properties in Debian to just become it's own thing,
that's a path too.
