I was not aware of the subtle difference, thanks for pointing it. On the
point i won't reinvent raspbian just build on top of it. E.G. i want to
have gmrender at latest version and some speciffic options - ergo have
to compile it somehow (and it is much better to be in a deb).

Will keep that in mind and play around a little to experiment.

In general thanks for the detailed response (and excuse again my
misunderstanding).
