Why is this necessary? Is there a realistic chance Debian/Ubuntu will
suddenly leap-frog us and have more recent versions? Maybe our
packages should have a different name and be installable alongside the
stock packages?

they seem pretty much equivalent. One extra command to add gpg keys
doesn't seem like a watershed difference.
