In my view *because* it is a critical component that you're updating,
you want to have it done via a smooth, well-tested and secure mechanism
(e.g. apt-get install). When CRITICAL SECURITY UPDATE comes out you
really don't want to be scrambling to know what version do I have now?
Did I download all the right pieces? Did I remember to update my apache
module with matching versions too? Did I remember to restart apache?
etc. etc. Distro-integrated updates make the process easy.
