But the problem is that the ones doing the vetting (i.e. Debian) have given up on making a vettable distribution because the build is so broken.
Why should we assume the Debian Foundation is the sole trusted source of every type of software?
And yes, if I'm using Debian and didn't add any PPA or extra sources, then the Debian Foundation IS the sole trusted source of software. And you do that because you know hey won't fuck up the system, which (and that's the whole point of this thread) the others certainly don't.
Now Debian is telling you: we see now way to distribute this software and guarantee what you are getting or that it won't fuck up the system.
Do you think I'd consider installing that junk?
