Ad-Hoc distribution with Team Provisioning profile

According to the Apple docs, one must create and use a distribution certificate and a distribution profile for distributing an app ad-hoc.

"To use ad hoc distribution, create a distribution provisioning profile specifying Ad Hoc as the distribution method and include a list of up to 100 devices authorized to run the app."

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/DevPortalGuide/CreatingandDownloadingaDistributionProvisioningProfile/CreatingandDownloadingaDistributionProvisioningProfile.html

Well, this is not neccessary i have found out. You could easily distribute an app ad-hoc with just the developer certificate and the team provisioning profile. Is it a bad idea to use the team prov. profile and just a developer certificate?

Why should i create an ad-hoc dist. profile if it's more easy to just use the team prov. profile?

Distribution builds have the property that cannot be debugged (that's what the get-task-allow property in the entitlements plist is for). This means that others cannot attach a debugger to your code and achieve undesirable results.

Distribution builds are required if you want to allow remote users to download the application via an App Store (Apple's or enterprise).
