Use the official Calibre version.
Kovid isn't afraid of tampering; rather, it is because the distro version is traditionally out of date within days of the OS being moved from testing to production.

There are usually a squillion bugfixes since then, and besides one never tests bugs on outdated versions of the software.
I am pretty sure I have seen support for distro bugs on rolling-release/source-based distros (as in, up to date versions).
