Both cases are important - I know I've personally made a reasonable
amount of use of the ability to run Debian built binaries on other
systems.
There's also the problem that if we do end up fixing bugs by doing this
then developers working on Debian may have a much harder time supporting
users on other systems. Problems will still occur but if we've bodged
around them locally then they'll not be visible on Debian systems.

It does seem rather rude to do this without upstream, which is also a
consideration.
