I guess those things could be a configuration thing within apt? Basically I can see it being frustrating in the future with only being able to get a version of something through apt and then trying to not install dependencies that you have through another package manager. That's an issue I sometimes have with homebrew and macports on macs plus python pip. Basically, some things you can only get through macports, some things only through homebrew and some things only through pip. Then you have to reorder the imports to not fuck up compiling something for every single thing you are trying to compile from source. And it is extremely annoying because you actually have no idea which imports are causing the issues. Now add to that that different packages may require the dependencies to be compiled in a certain way and you are in a world of pain.
