The reason to have a drupal package or any other community or multiverse package is most likely that somebody had the inclination to do the packaging. Whether it be a good plan to use it is up to the individual user.
I typically think of it as a downside of ubuntu installations that their security support policy separates their large repository into a small main section with security support, and a large universe section which does not promise any security support.
I always thought debian was "better" in the sense that there was security support for all of debian main, which is much larger than ubuntu main.
Is that belief misguided?[I am aware that this is a community distribution, that everyone has too little spare time to solve my problems, etc. This is in no way a complaint, I enjoy debian a lot. This is merely a question.]
(I do not use drupal myself anymore, but both mediawiki and gallery, as well as webservers without CMSs)
