No, we just say:
- if you use the debian packaging system and a stable release, you wont have
(much) dependecy problems
- if you install binaries or compile files on your own, you will face
problems, if you cant resolv them, dont do it
- if you want to compile on your own, use the debian tools to do that, this
will reduce the number of problems.

there is no way (besides writing docu and teaching users) to enforce this,
what is your point?

this is because you did not read the primer and install doc. But there is
nothing wrong with this. As long as you tell upstream, which version you use
and that it is on debian, upstream knows (ideally) who to contact from
debian.
This of course requires the maintainer of the debian package to stay in
touch with upstream, which is at least true for some of us.
