No, packages keep track of dependencies, e.g. letting me know when a 
library change is going to break anything.

Packages are also for keeping your system clean, I can switch 
between any hugin build or uninstall it without trace.

Running `make install` on a Linux system is often a really bad idea, 
especially with untested development software - This is how you 
break a machine and end-up wiping and reinstalling.

No, the version number in the trunk has to be higher than the most 
recent stable release (or stable branch if this hasn't yet been 
released).
