This is something that Debian has been fighting all the time and for the worst IMHO. Language specific package managers are closer to upstream and keep more up to date the software offered.

Well but all of these language-specific packagers are already
available in Debian, aside with hundreds of packaged stuff that "just
fits well together", as in the case of pythor or ruby. I won't ever
"prefer" to use pip or gem if I am not forced to do so. Mixing up is
always an easy way of messing up, IMHO. You should do it only if you
know exactly what you are up to, and if you are ready to blame yourself
for any mess you will have to deal with, not your distro....
