As a user you should be unaffected by the packaging of software as long as it works.
A Linux distribution can repackage LXD in their native packaging format and some distributions are doing it already (Debian, Alpine, Fedora, etc). If you are familiar with packaging, you can help promote those packages to the official repositories.

You should always be concerned about the security of your supply chain, and should always be pulling packages from official sources only (official by the standards of the distro and/or developers you trust).
