In my experience, the problem is that the official package can never be
as complete and as up to date as the distribution package (at least for
distributions which have continuously updated packages like debian).
Then it happens that somebody writes to the upstream author complaining
about the distro packaging in the package being broken or out of date,
while it will have been fixed since a long time in the distribution
package.
This is not a big deal now while there are almost-weekly udev releases,
but look at the hotplug package and compare it with the packages from
distributions.
