> a pretty bad way to write and manage packages

Cool, good to know this nearly 30 year old conflict is still just as active as ever. Tens of thousands of working DEB packages notwithstanding.

Have you ever written one?
Yes, have done DEB and RPM and Docker and Makefiles with `make install` and IMO the differences for a packager are pretty minimal and not worth having a holy war over.

Anyone smart enough to manage one format can probably manage any of them.
