Yeah I get that. If it's a frequently updated package that you use frequently and care about, or on an instance you're both developing and maintaining, it's totally worth it to do the system integration for yourself. I got the impression that GGP was deploying for other people. In that situation, not having a distro package maintainer for a package might mean the sysadmin becomes a de facto package maintainer, which sucks for the sysadmin and the users both.
