As far as I recall, this is the situation: The debs were always released by Sebastian, and signed with his personal key. IIRC James now has access to that key and could conceivably sign packages, but I think everyone agreed that would be a bad idea. Therefore there was a plan for someone else to take over signing and releasing the packages, and Stefan was looking into this the last time I heard anything about it. This was also partly tied up with the question of whether we should build things on tei-c.org, and that issue is tangled up with the problem of the version of Saxon on tei-c being too old for building purposes, but required IIRC for the existing CMS system; so the discussion may have been back-burnered pending the replacement of the CMS with something more modern.

About a year ago, Martin H did a Community Consultation thing about whether or not we should continue to distribute debian packaged versions of at least some parts of the TEI product line.
The response was yes we should. (I simplify). But I can't find any evidence of what happened thereafter. Step 15 of TCW22 suggests we are probably still building packages as part of the release but I don't believe they are necessarily getting put anywhere people can get at them.
(Step 15 reads "Inform the Debian Package Maintainer of the new release Note: This step may change as we review Debian Package Creation The Debian repository can only be updated by its maintainers, so let the Debian Package Maintainer know that your release is done, so they can grab the new packages and add them to the repository. ")
I don't know who the DPM is, nor what state we are in as regards reviewing DPC.
So who is the DPM? The notes at http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/ though very precise and helpful surely need some updating.
