So if they "do not grasp yet how things work on Linux", Why they are not meeting Canonical guys and get some help? I believe they do things as they do now is they are looking forward for interoperability with other distros in their own way.

Well, it's not working very well, since only Debian-based distros can directly install the software. And those distros could just add a repository anyway.

Other distros, like Arch, are forced to create workarounds, such as scripts that download and extract the .deb[0].
