Heroku suports only Ubuntu

Heroku supports Ubuntu nicely but seems to ignore other distributions. Their reference points to an OS-specific choice page.
points to toolbelt.heroku.com
That page provides a script and a command that uses the script to install heroku toolbet for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu option
However, even for standalone option, the script does not change.
Standalone option
deadlock completed
Now standalone essentially is the category of other linux and BSD distributions. So, having an apt-get script for them is like saying "We hardly care about you". They could have provided a source link there. In fact given that another link on the same page links to their source hosted at Github. And interestingly their Github page asks to first install heroku toolbelt redirecting back to the same page.
