And there you are deeply wrong. Anyone will rpm or deb experience will
tell you mixed installations are a great way to go mad after a while.

I'm sorry you take it like this.

All I can say is, if you think what I wrote is over the line, well
that's nothing compared to what will be headed your way the day the
auto-download stuff starts being promoted for Linux distributions.

I tried to give you a friendly warning. Non native packaging is not a
maybe but a never here. Native packages are in the end 99% of what's a
distribution is about. But since you insist, I'll let you discover it by
yourself. I have no more wish than anyone else to be caught in the
middle of a crossfire I didn't started.
