The "binary" Debian package for `elpa-magit` mostly contains Magit's
`.el` files plus the doc and a few other things. IOW it's fairly
similar to our ELPA tarballs.
So it's very close to the source code itself, but it's still separate
from "the source" (which you can get via things like `apt source elpa-magit`
and will fetch some tarball rather than a `.deb` file) from which the
`.deb` is built.

I don't think there's a `emacs+magit` package in Debian. There's an
`elpa-magit` package and an `emacs` package.

We don't have to take their opinion into account when choosing
Emacs's defaults. We just need to provide the tools that let them get
the behavior they want.
