You understand that you can install a deb/rpm inside a container, right?

The conservation of complexity is at play here. Either you have a quasi-complex deb/rpm, and a simple Dockerfile with a RUN command installing it, or you have a quasi-complex Dockerfile which does all the packaging work itself.

That's exactly why I replied. deb/rpm in container is a reasonable choice, and that way, they aren't global for the system but local in the container.
