+3 for packaging instead of download option:

As an admin (among other hats) I always prefer packaged thingies
over download options. If there is a problem or an error, I do
always know what is installed (or not) using the package
management. Otherwise I would have to scan user directories etc.
which is cumbersome.

As a user (another hat) I prefer packaged thingies over download
options. If there is a problem or an error, I do always know how
and to where report the bug, i.e. the distributor. Otherwise I
would have to find out about different bug trackers etc.

As a Debian developer (third hat) I prefer packaged thingies
over download options. If there is a problem or an error, I know
that it's all my fault ;~)

Cheers
