Dear mentors,No, you may do anything you want.
I plan to publish (at least) 4 Debian packages.
The format is ideal for my users to install, and the .deb format takes care of installing .info files at the right place, something I find impossible to do.
Is it frowned upon by the Debian community to use the .deb format to publish these packages?
(And what are the sanctions?)Huh?

There are no sanction as well as sanctions of community.

While it is fine to publish .deb packages outside of Debian, it is
usually better for everyone and recommended by Debian to get them
included in Debian itself. Take a look at this if you are interested:
