It has nothing to do with credibility. Xandros is not pure Debian. They
have made significant modifications to their packages. And I don't
mean this as a bad thing. The program you are trying to install expects
the OS to behave in a certain way. But Xandros is not Debian and it will
behave differently. The results are unpredictable. 

You are mixing apples with pears and expecting to get grape wine. Linux
distros can be very different and packages built for one will not work
for the other.
