Most of the discussions are in the relevant mailing list archives (the
archives are all available on the web; check GMANE first).

Essentially it's a matter of opinion.  If you're an OS purist who thinks
everything should be done the way their distribution does it, you'll probably
be happier installing those half-assed packages -- that is, until you require
support from the mailing lists.

Once that happens, you'll find you have a much easier time getting support if
you installed the packages from source in the "standard" fashion (that's
following DJB's online installation instructions for djbdns, following Dave
Sill's "Life with qmail" for daemontools, ucspi-tcp, and qmail).
