What about cases where the software simply isn't in Debian at all? Recently, I've used IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio, and I'd like to set up an OwnCloud server when I get a chance. These, and many other complex / fast-changing applications aren't in Debian, but are available in containerized app formats. Some are also available in deb packages from upstream, but I'm not sure which is worse: installing a random deb from upstream, or a containerized version of the app. The deb will / may rely upon system libraries and other dependencies, which is good, insofar as everything works, but it will also have more of a chance to mess with the system (even if only accidentally).
