No. There is LSB-standard about packet management and undeniably having transaction support there is a benefit and practically is more secure having GPG signatures embedded and not detached; so Debian's legacy reasons are just irrational and childish.

It doesn't much matter to end user, so I just cannot get it why Debian won't follow the standard which would be better than its own.
