I've been resisting doing this because I manage a number of systems
and using the Debian apt tools make life very easy [1].  However, there
does reach a point when the number of improvements in the upstream
version make it worth my while.  I'm coming close to this point with
WL, I guess...  but I'm not there yet (too many lectures to give etc
to start on this now).
