@fasterthanlime debian packages are rad, but every single deb package not in an actual debian release seems to treat the entire debian policy and maintainers' guide as "more of a suggestion that only applies to others".

So, my answer is always no...

Also, mad respect for @whack and fpm, but I've run into so many deb packages which are just really bad because its GSD ethos has little respect for the nuance of a well defined shared community standard.
