non-maintainerpackages not good?

[Andreas Palsson <did@algonet.se>]

Hello.

I have a simple question.

There is a program called 'xyz' and it is already packaged and maintained,
and then I also make a package of the same program but a more current
version.
I do not upload it to Debian, but I make it available to download for my
friends and those who wants it.

Is this a Bad Idea?

of course I include a note that "this package is not part of the Debian
distribution and not created byt the orginal maintainer blahblah use at
own risk blah blah..."...

Regards...
