Sometimes (like now, for me), you are on a Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS machine administered by someone else and want to use some software which is available on Debian with ease. It is tough, because of the several dependencies, library requirements etc.; so much that it is better to compile the package from source, but sometimes, it might be useful to just grab that executable from the Debian package?
