It's not the version numbers that bind us. ;) It's having a whole slew
of packages available for easy maintenance. I can easily build from
tarball and grab packages from backports.org and so on but it does make
life easier to be able to just do a simple apt-get from the base and get
what you want that way (backports.org and suchlike come close to that).
