That's interesting --- the question is what would actually be missing or
not working if I removed everything from dmo and replaced it with what's
in Debian.
Don't know, depends. You could try it and see.
I tried and 268 packages were removed, even including gimp. I
re-installed what I needed from Debian and so far, I'm not missing
anything.
For example if you watch DVD's on your computer you will need
libdvdcss2 which isn't available in Debian.
Yeah what's the replacement for that?
So if you want to compile a package which isn't available in Debian, you
still won't need a deb-src entry, you will only need to install any
xxx-dev packages, where xxx is any package required to satisfy the build
dependency.
Yes, and that is something I'm trying to avoid. Foreign software ---
even if it's something that is available in Debian in an older version
--- has a tendency to pile up under /usr/local and can be difficult to
remove or to upgrade. On top of that, you can get dependency problems
you never know about ...
