No not at all. But for the moment I'd rather install the deb packages
directly because in this phase of testing an

apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

might lock down you system if new deb files contain errors.

So I prefer *for the moment*

wget <file from Aitor's site>.deb
dpkg -i <file from Aitor's site>.deb

This wil install this particular version and these version will not be
upgraded automatically.
