I would not recommend this approach for a server. You better stick to the packages provided in the archives. Packages on osgeo live don't get security updates, some installation scripts put data where it does not belong, others add unsecure options to configuration files, there is no upgrade path, ... If packages are not present in the distribution but are present on osgeo live you can consider using the install script for that specific package. Limit the exposure.
