So that anyone can build open your work, or contribute to it, by
modifying the source code and building a new Debian package :)
... and if there are any binary packages with compiled code in there:
to comply with the various involved free software licenses.

Yes.

OK.
Just curious: why is dotdeb.org needed, then? (I suspect there might
be some improvements that would be worth upstreaming to
Debian, perhaps.)

Mine was not so bad, but still lacking some features that some may
find important in 2014, and that Spice adds, e.g. USB devices hotplug,
sound, adapting the guest's resolution to the window size, clipboard
sharing and accelerated graphics (QXL).
More info about it can be found at

See the --apt-recommends option in lb_config(1). Or just set
a negative APT pinning for the package you don't want to install.
