I prefer using mechanisms provided upstream, as this is easier on the
Debian infrastructure - which is not built to distribute huge
amounts of data, IMO.

Also note that the proposed packages don't replace the terrasync
solution, which is capable of downloading scenery on the fly
(literally). You can't do that (easily) with a package approach.
