You could read about 'personal package archives' (PPA). That's one method to share a debian packaged program with many other users. To install it then they need to do nothing but this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:YOUR-LAUNCHPAD-USERNAME/PPA-NAME 

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install SOFTWARE-NAME

Those PPAs are hosted on Launchpad so there website might be a good place to start at.
