Installing 3rd party packages, apt URIs

Hi,

One of the things that looks difficult on Linux is installing software.
We as experienced Debian users know that the most simple way for installation 
is apt-get based :)
So instead of the Windows model (downloading package, installing with 
per-application installer) we have an installation and configuration 
framework featuring update possibility.

The problem are packages outside our usual apt sources.
Now the idea or question is:
can we come up with a schema for an URI for apt sources that can be put on 
webpages instead of the download link.
So that, for example, I could go to sourceforge, search for a program, click 
on an "apt link" in the results and have it added to my sources list.

Cheers,
Kevin
