From the perspective of those of us working on packaging Emacs addons in
Debian, significant advantages are
1) the way addons work doesn't change within a Debian stable release,
just like Emacs itself doesn't change within a Debian stable release
2) addons get installed using Debian's mechanisms for a secure software
supply chain, rather than relying on https alone.
