I too recommend using debian infrastructure instead of my repository.

Sure thing, if you watch for stuff, you'll notice something and
act accordingly.  But the thing is that many people just put a
line into their /etc/apt/sources.list and move on, never bothered
to check anything.

At the very beginning, for a week or two, I had a different layout
in my repository, with distribution names like 2022-ubuntu-jammy,
but I quickly got tired of typing these long names and shortened
them just to "jammy" codenames.  Kept old names for compatibility
for a month or two, but dropped these later as well.  It was, iirc,
all in 2022.  Yet, to this date, systems from all around the world
keep asking for Release files in these long directories, constantly
getting 404 error. People just don't bother, - including for their
systems security.  That's the reason why I recommend official debian
archives instead of using external repositories.

Debian does not encourage usage of external repositories too.
