"Well maintained" packages are always great, but they can leave you
stranded if you need some quick fix and there is some problem with the
maintainer or getting the repository updated. In my opinion, the
'best of all worlds' is where the source package includes the
packaging script so you don't really need to know anything to build
your own package if that is ever necessary.
