Well, I didn't say 'Debian package' or 'binary package'. If I download the git repository of source code for an application and compile/install it myself, couldn't that also be considered a 'package' of software? If not, then perhaps I used the term 'package' in an unusual way, which may have caused the confusion.

In that case, how would you refer to a piece of software that is downloaded and compiled from source, if not as a 'package'?
