You are changing your argument... You were originally talking about security and whatever you define as a "clean system" not about stability and robustness and on that regard my point remains valid:

Binary packages are not intrinsically more secure that plain text scripts that you can easily audit.

If you feel safer because you are executing by hand a bunch of commands that can be automated with a script that's ok.

In my case I rather spend that time doing something more productive.

Build integrity is inherently a security issue.
