(I understand about vendoring; it's a philosophical difference.) The model we've chosen is distributing binaries from our own apt and yum repos: https://github.com/googlecloudplatform/gcsfuse/blob/master/docs/installing.md I'm totally fine with you finishing this off for the official debian repo if you want to, but I wanted to be clear about the situation from our end.
