   This is evidently untrue simply from looking at the Raspbian repo's   
   contents. I found out the hard way that some packages like Firefox   
   there are built only for Debian's target ARM architectures, not the   
   early Raspberry Pi boards.   
      
   Also I haven't seen the Debian repo used in Raspbian sources.list,   
   though I haven't used the more recent RPi OS versions. Would this   
   even work seeing as there'd be conflicting packages for the same   
   programs? In my experience with Debian on PC, it wouldn't since Apt   
   doesn't favour one repo over another - it just selects whichever   
   package versions look latest.

   He posted that there was a "deb-src" line already.   
      
   Anyway it still won't build him the latest Mailutils which would be   
   easy to do the same way he already did it on PC (providing the   
   dependency package names are changed to Debian ones), so I think I   
   give up at this point.
