I agree with what you're saying, if the .deb can do something potentially harmful, like yeah uninstall half the system. That's not the case here, though yeah, if you don't know GNU/Linux you could sometimes mess it up.

But nobody worry. Nuthin' bad with this one. Also, that's how you learn in GNU/Linux, overcoming problems, right.
I would recommend most people wait until an actual package is available at least in extras-testing before trying for CJK input.
If you need CJK input just go ahead, you can get it working, it's not that hard, and it might take a long time for Emacs to pop up in extras-testing, plus if you're not deeply familiar with GNU/Linux, messing with extras-testing is the same problem.

But it's rock solid in this package, and you can use CJK right now.
