Why use Debian not Sorcerer?`

What is the difference between the Debian based or Sorcerer based packages? It seems that both use source based, not binary based. So why one vs aother? Isn't Sorcerer newer than Debian?

No, debian uses binary packages, and is the Largest ( both in numbers of software packages and use ).
