Jörg,
   I agree with this completely.  Why reinvent wheels?  One of the 
forges already has everything needed by a project and is managed, 
updated and maintained for free.  No worrying about your own server 
crashing.  No fiddling with various bugtracker, wiki, blog, vcs, etc. 
setups.  And you just mirror back to your own server if you feel the 
need to do that.  And as you point out, Launchpad is very featured and 
can automatically generate .deb files.  If you use their repository, you 
can always use the git-bzr plugin that allows you to work in git and 
still use the Launchpad bazaar seemlessly.  You never know the difference.
