Some questions have been raised about installing from source vs. installing
from a package and why I don't believe it's good to install directly from
source. I will post my reasons here.
I will first point out that nothing prevents you from building your own

Unless the package has been abandoned by the packager, and you found
out that there should have been
Both the use of a package manager and compiling from source both have their
places.
Personally, after years of installing everything from source, I now use
packages for most software. There are a few pieces of software which aren't
available in .debs, but it's fairly easy to roll your own from
