I won't argue to your statements (which are already properly covered by others, e.g. the response from Jonas above) and I'll simply stick to your proposed keyword. Who forces you to use Debian packages (which are obviously compiled according to rules defined by Debian) instead of using a big .tar.gz or some other solution? Who forces you to use Debian (or Debian based) distribution at all even (there are other distributions with slightly different rules)? If you want to focus existing problems (which had been the original topic of this thread) then let's discuss concrete issues (i.e. what does not work, why and how to improve the situation for the future). If you want to discuss philosophical points regarding packaging rules of various Linux distributions, I suggest moving to fpc-other.
