	A .deb is responsible for migrating config information when upgrading
from one version to another.  Apt also helps in that it automatically
gets any required dependencies.  I personally don't have much experience
with the RH flavors, but my debian experience has been very good.
	Having a huge free central repository of packages also helps.
