Considering that Solarus itself has recently become super user friendly and stable recently, I'm going to attempt to get solarus and solarus-quest-editor as packages in the official Debian repos for the 1.6.0 / 1.5.1 release (Games will stay in PPA because of Nintendo assets). Currently the one thing I am working on at the moment to get closer to this goal is the menu entries. I have the launcher one written out, and converted the 16x16 and 32x32 icon images to .xpm (required for Debian menu files). I'm trying to figure out how to get them installed on the system on package install, but I haven't been able to yet.
In addition, before I file an action to get it into Debian, I need to work on the following lintian errors:
E: solarus changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file xenial (this is only because I've been packaging for Ubuntu)
W: libsolarus: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libsolarus-gui libsolarus1

W: solarus: manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man6/solarus.6.gz
Most of these should be easy fixes, and I'll cross them out when I fix them.
After I do solarus, I'll do solarus-quest-editor, and then work on getting a Debian sponsor.
