Hello!

At work, we have a downstream Debian based distro called gLinux.
We're working on testing Linux kernels built with Clang; trying to
find bugs either due to undefined behaviors or compiler codegen bugs.
We would like to test packaging such a kernel for distribution.  We're
able to build+boot most ISAs at this point, and ship Clang built
kernels in Android, CrOS, and our Google Cloud VM images.

I'm not super familiar with creating .deb's, but I was curious what's
the recommended way of distributing such a kernel for testing?  I
assume setting up a PPA is also involved?  Is it possible to choose a
different kernel image to install via apt?

Thanks,
~Nick Desaulniers
