If you were on one of the irc channels or forums I moderate, you would
have been tempbanned, but for being an ass to the developers and the
people trying to help you, rather than your ability to find bugs; it's
not so much the fact that you brought up an issue (which most of us
*agree* is an issue), but rather your demanding "fix this now, bitch"
attitude that seems to have angered the locals.  It seems Alvaro is a
bit nicer than me, though.

You're using the *unstable* repositories.  It is not a difference in
commands, but rather in which repositories you have selected.

Alright?

I'm not sure if I'd accept sysadmin advice from someone who uses
[unstable] repositories on a production server while expecting them to
act like [stable].

How 'bout "Cherokee is an interesting toy and an interesting
experiment but DO NOT use it for Production servers, unless you're
willing to spend time and effort to debug issues and/or pay for
support."?  Performance comes at a price, in a similar manner as the
common saying "OSS is only free if your time doesn't cost anything".
If you wanted an SUV, you shouldn't have bought a Porsche.

As a side note, whatever you're using to send messages is adding large
amounts of bloat to your messages.  Confidentiality notices are rather
silly for messages posted to a public mailing list, and I daresay most
of us don't care a whit about your LinkedIn or Twitter accounts, and
it makes trimming messages a bit more work than it would be otherwise.
