In that case, why use Debian? The packaging (and the policies to support
and govern it) are what makes Debian, Debian. Might as well use LFS if
you’re going to make ; make install everything anyway.

(Not that make ; make install is in any way evil; it’s great when it’s
needed, it’s just not needed very much by users in Debian)

Happy Holidays to all.
