No, binaries were provided for all official releases (buzz/1.1 onwards). There was an installer (known as boot-floppies); its appearance was fairly similar from buzz right through to woody when it was retired. There was no apt and no source dependencies, and early on even a different source package format, but there's still a lot of similarity.
