Apparently you have not read the forum threads about the issues caused
by .DEBs. :)
There are literally hundreds of them. Here is one:

Maybe we should collect them all somehow.

External (not from distro repo) .DEBs are good for people who know the
Debian package system well and can fix it when it gets screwed.
For everybody else :
* Stay away from external Debian packages! *
