That's fine. I don't care what you do with your self-built binaries once you manage to build them yourself. But too many firms have no infrastructure in place to do that. They wait for upstreams to synchronize to fix security flaws that they could fix directly.

scp and "dpkg -i" are readily available, but it's really not that much work to setup a repository (aptly, reprepro, apt-ftparchive etc.)

I know I'd personally chose maintaining the system packages and where possible put extraneous language dependencies in packages too (fpm comes in handy as it can deal with a variety of packages, gem, npm etc). It makes life a lot simpler when it comes to administering a bunch of systems and trying to keep things consistent.
