OK, there's a point: you are asking for *any* (standard) type of
installation procedure being delivered with the tarball. You are
not criticizing we would have the "wrong" one. Now, surely that'd be
desirable, but, he, we simply don't have it as we haven't written
one.

Probably due to the luxury of having Debian packages very
quickly right from the beginning.

Now, all things considered a *peaceful* farewell is a good thing.
