upgrades, bug fixes etc., wont be as smooth as it would be if the package is
in Debian. Tracking a software outside Debian is always a pain in the neck
IMHO.

Nvu has not had any significant upgrades since 1.0 and the version that was in
Debian didn't have many bug-fixes either (my packages says version 1.0final-1).
A new HTML editor using Gecko 1.9 is being worked on (Nvu uses 1.7 I think),
but it is not even in beta yet and it looks like it will have a
different name. So
the Debian package has minimal advantages.
