The strict answer would be 'Y'.


I never understood why such packages couldn't just be a "stub" that
downloads the source from the "true" source and compiles and installs.

Because that would force production systems to, effectively, be developer environments (compiler+all development libraries). Which is similar to what the BSD ports are. It would also impact negatively on people running low-power machines in which compilation might take hours (if not days).

Sample: Debian provides _binary_ packages for 11 architectures, including m68k (6800 processor, your Atari or Amiga) or ARM (for your Zaurus or iPaq handheld). Compiling Nessus in those platforms might mean either natively compile it there or building a cross-compiling platform.

For a full list of the arquitectures Debian is ported to, and for which _binary_ packages are provided you can just look at.
