Because Debian is a distribution, and thus needs to track what it 
distributes.

I fail to understand your question.  Possibly because I insist on 
reading the question in the context of Debian packaging (as opposed to 
upstream design) or tricks sidestepping Debian.

If related to (not mis)using Debian, could you please try rephrase?
