As Koha continues to grow in popularity it seems reasonable to assume there may be a corresponding increase in the number of Koha system administrators, specifically separate from developers. At some point if there is interest in starting a mailing list or a wiki section for system administrators maybe we should discuss it.
The following email discussing updates in Debian that I received on a different mailing list is one example of information that might be of interest to such a group.

Anyone else run into this issue? I'm rather curious if it would've died earlier with a 32-bit kernel. Richard, Have you tried the upgrade with apt-get? It's (again) the recommended package manager for Debian (as opposed to aptitude in Lenny)[1]: Note Although the |aptitude| command comes with rich features such as its enhanced package resolver, this complexity has caused (or may still causes) some regressions such as Bug #411123 <http://bugs.debian.org/411123>, Bug #514930 <http://bugs.debian.org/514930>, and Bug #570377 <http://bugs.debian.org/570377>. In case of doubt, please use the |apt-get| and |apt-cache| commands over the |aptitude|command.
