I think the Debian sysadmin team (DSA) use Puppet for this. <https://salsa.debian.org/dsa-team/mirror/dsa-puppet/> is a public mirror. > Launchpad and the Open Build Service[4] may also be very interesting > options.

My employer (Collabora) uses OBS for Debian derivatives, but we've had to make some changes to make it work better with .dsc/.deb.
