Why is this necessary? Is there a realistic chance Debian/Ubuntu will
suddenly leap-frog us and have more recent versions? Maybe our
packages should have a different name and be installable alongside the
stock packages?

Can you articulate why you think they aren't? Aside from the step
above (which Josh actually points out you need to do on Yum as well)
they seem pretty much equivalent. One extra command to add gpg keys
doesn't seem like a watershed difference.
