It adds another layer of unnecessary complexity. If you can do everything using packages from Debian mirrors, then there is only one place to report bugs, whereas if you come across a bug *AND* are using 3rd party packages, it only complicates bug triaging, and your bug will probably be closed as unable to reproduce. Note, some maintainers are not interested in bug reports if there are 3rd party packages involved. See vlc bug reports when deb.multimedia.org repository is enabled, for example. There are probably other reasons, which escape me at the moment. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
