For some environments, this may be the case. I find native packaging to be really helpful in mixed environments. On a daily basis I need to deploy Rails/PHP/Python, and using a native package manager is a nice common denominator. When I first heard about this strategy I thought it was crazy -- but have since come to really like it.
