Ah, good question.The automation of the Debian package installer is
helpful in that it automatically creates /etc/init.d/ scripts, creates
the user squeezeboxserver, changes ownership of files so that they can
run under that user, and provides proper daemon monitoring (and
restarting behavior, if it ever crashes).  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. 

Charles.
