I think deloptes went a bit overboard with this.

I'd say... it depends. If you're building a package targeted at a
specific distro suite and just change the log level, for example,
you'd be wasting your time. If, OTOH, what you're changing is some
compiler option which affects the ABI towards a library, you won't
be well advised to use the distro's binary package for said
lib. You gota re-build that dependency, no?

Between those two (extreme) examples lies our real world, full of
shades and facets, which makes our lives "interesting".

In short, you gotta know what you're doing.

If you are sitting on top of a huge heap of manure and haven't
got the time to understad, then, yes, you have to follow the
path outlined by deloptes.

I tend to leave environments of that kind sooner latter than
later: they not only treat their computers like cattle, they
tend to treat their people that way, too.
