This is evidently untrue simply from looking at the Raspbian repo's
contents. I found out the hard way that some packages like Firefox
there are built only for Debian's target ARM architectures, not the
early Raspberry Pi boards.

Also I haven't seen the Debian repo used in Raspbian sources.list,
though I haven't used the more recent RPi OS versions. Would this
even work seeing as there'd be conflicting packages for the same
programs? In my experience with Debian on PC, it wouldn't since Apt
doesn't favour one repo over another - it just selects whichever
package versions look latest.

He posted that there was a "deb-src" line already.

Anyway it still won't build him the latest Mailutils which would be
easy to do the same way he already did it on PC (providing the
dependency package names are changed to Debian ones), so I think I
give up at this point.
