yes, it may. debian has a strict policy regarding where things should be
and behave (which may be overkill sometimes). converting from alien
means that things may not be in the place where the system is expecting
it to be.

I suppose if it's working with one score it will work with others. I
suggest you test if lilypond-book, the conversion scripts (like abc2ly),
emacs-mode, vi-mode, documentation, etc are working.
