You can actually install RPMs on Debian systems, but it would be a pretty
unusual way to go about things. I think for almost every one, the Debian
stable updates that we provide should be sufficient. For those that actually
need the latest release, it's trivial to grab the Debianized source from a
later release and build it for an earlier release.
