`curl | bash` makes me think that (a) your software will not play nicely with my OS and I'll have to figure out your weird locations for where you are putting your init scripts, config files, data, etc. and (b) that upgrades will be manual and painful. Fwiw, the two programs I've used with such a script (Calibre and Youtube-dl) both update easily, and don't have problems with support. That said, it would be nice if there was a way to update them automatically. There seems to be a way to hook commands into apt-get, maybe you can add a command to update your other programs at the same time.
