Of course, people doing NMUs and/or dealing with other arch's may not
have access to the maintainer's CVS repository, so it might be useful
to them. I would guess there are relatively few packages in the
archive that haven't been NMU'd at some point.

Is there some problem with having this flexibility? I haven't seen
anything that would make it appear mandatory that you take advantage
of it---so where's the problem?
