Places to put scripts
----------------------

git-extras
devscripts
ubuntu-dev-tools
pkg-perl-tools
moreutils
mailscripts
<hostname>-scripts
stuff them into related packages
publish on github/gitlab/etc
not every script needs full documentation etc
what about https://salsa.debian.org/debian/misc-scripts ??
