It may not be a big deal for you, and it's not a big deal for me. Apparently, though, it is a big deal for some users. The days are past when you could assume that every user of GNU/Linux had a certain body of expertise. Besides, since .debs can be made with relative ease, why not offer them on the web site already made? That would certainly be more convenient.
