Doing so would present all sort of problems for the end user attempting to replicate what others do with this platform using Debian.

By the way, the package I built from source, would work on any armhf, using the same libc. Which I forget which version comes on the latest beaglebone images. but a good guide is that whichever system you want install it on uses the same version of gcc. So in this case, the package I built for my
