Disagree vehemently. Apt and friends stomp all over install.exe or whatever.
I know *exactly* what files are included in the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.deb, and where they are going to go. I can see them, browse the install package, if I have to.
In the very rare event that an uninstall barfs, I can find the problem and fix it.
When I update my system, *all* the software is updated if there are updates available, I don't have to do an update for this vendor's stuff, another for that vendor's stuff, and then there's those guys, and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
