the last time I heared about a package, that tried to get Debian/Ubuntu in line with its own thoughts about how releases should be handled, it was Firefox. Mozilla tried to pull trademark and Debian reacted by forking Firefox to Iceweasel. Who suffered more at the end is debatable. So if you want to get netbeans out of debian, that is a good way. I'm not so worried about the IDE, that is indeed better installed from us, but the netbeans platform is a library and if you force debian to drop netbeans, they will have to drop the platform too. So be careful about the daemons you invoke.
