Which was the right decision, for VFX, because in my experience
installing one of the VFX .debs was more work than installing from the
tarball.

My impression is that .debs are good if the package is distributed
through the Debian (Ubuntu, etc.) infrastructure, but if the package
has to be downloaded separately, and, like VFX, has few dependencies,
.deb does not buy anything, and has the disadvantage of being prone to
overly restrictive dependencies.  I guess the same is true for rpms.
