In the specific case where that's available, it's fine. I've not gotten into the habit of trusting it, though, largely because a lot of what I compile _isn't_ in the package manager - otherwise I'd just apt-get the thing and save the trouble. (Although, more and more, I'm finding that I want to update to a version that isn't in Debian's repo - eg SciTE has had a LOT of new features since the version in repository - so I end up compiling from source still.)
