This is why Debian repositories, as fantastic as they are, are not
suitable for fast moving, complex projects, with lots of add-ons, and
built in update mechanisms.

I install everything from the repositories, but make exceptions where
they make sense.

Drupal is one such exception. Having it frozen in time in the
repositories means you don't get security updates quickly enough. You
are better off without debian repos here.

Again, those are the exceptions, not the rule.
