Following a remark on IRC, it's also important to have quality and
consistency in the packaging of (external) software. But the lack of
quality in dpkg has far more consequences than the lack of quality in
the packaging of a random package.
Furthermore the average skillset of the DD includes packaging while it
doesn't necessarily include programming and maintaining a complex piece of
software like dpkg.
