Yes true.
You must know you have limitation like not automatically choosing the
appropriate "architecture" for the package.

DEB generator uses
dpkg --print-architecture
in order to select approprite arch.

if dpkg is not found then the default is i386, which may not be what you want
e.g. on an x86_64 system.

The scheme is better than nothing though.
