it's a php script

you don't need any install method

No you don't need an installer for alot of things. You chose to use that word. Packaging systems simply make life easier. What's faster?

Command line interface:

apt-get install phpmyadmin

OR

How many clicks (and how much time) does it take......
Click your link, (search for the file), click the file (hopefully you don't need a mirror too!), then you copy the script over. What if you're working on a remote box? You may very well be hosed if you need a browser. The point is, by the time you find the file w/ a browser apt-get already has it installed.

Additionally, let's not forget that we have now also learned a new and valuable way to use or friend the Debian package management system affectionately know as apt. Now the next time JockVSJock wants a package but doesn't know exactly what it's called he can find it alot easier.

By the way, what is
