Using the system package manager means that your software can actually in the future be packaged for a distribution. This is a major win in the sense that if your software ever achieves any level of popularity, it is more likely to actually get packaged and as a result, your end users are more likely to actually be able to easily make use of it. Distro package managers are a far superior solution than having 5 different language package managers you have to keep in sync and then having to compile your own software.
