I've done all this by hand before on different machines, but I like the automation and system accounting that Debian packages always provide.
I guess I've become used to the convenience of easily installing and updating Debian packages, and wanted to maintain that convenience, even if I couldn't use your nightly builds anymore due to lack of direct aarch64 support.
