Since HA depends on a lot of python packages, on external softwares and libraries it could not feasible to ensure that the versions packaged with the distribution will always be in line with those needed by HA

it could not feasible

I disagree.

I'm not a Debian Developer and won't become one: http://settrans.net/~rah/why-not-debian.html

Also, I'm not a Home Assistant user so I've no interest in contributing.

Then do if for your distribution then. It's clearly not that difficult, you've all but explicitly stated as much.

I use Debian.

I have not said that, or anything like it.

Perhaps you missed the fact that I'm not a Home Assistant user and have no interest in contributing?
