(...) Yes, I know, but sometimes there's no other way to get the job done. What I wanted to mean is that, other than the nuisance that is having to deal with external packages, there's shouldn't be drawbacks for going that way. While I would be very cautious for getting packages from repositories owned by users I don't know, I wouldn't mind installing the mainstream kernel sources, Intel Xorg drivers or Mozilla packages from their upstream sites.
