just chuck the Debian packaging and compile their own binaries, because
there is no way you are going to find out how to get things to work the
way you intended and the upstream documentation describes.
I, then, fall in the category of less dedicated users.
When I need to install an editor on a random machine, it is usually
because I need the tool to do the job, which, for me, isn't the best
time to be looking up configure options I forgot and prerequisites I
don't care to remember.
So I don't care to hand-compile my tools on all the various machines I
use - I prefer to simply install the packages and be done with it.
Different strokes for more and less dedicated users, I guess.
Best regards,
Adam
