I've always thought the whole "Debian Way" business was faintly
ridiculous anyway. If it works for you, use it, but we've always
supported people rolling their own, even when it'd be convenient to do
otherwise (e.g. no dependencies from normal binaries on kernel-image
packages).
"Debian Way" always sounded a bit too religious for me. :-) If there's
such a thing at all, then it's probably choice.
