This reminds me, Gentoo ebuilds are flexible enough to build directly from CVS without changing the user commands (I expect this is how E17 is packaged). In my one brief look at Debian I got the impression that .deb files are scattered to the four corners of the net, and just finding where they are located is a hassle. Is this true or me being na�ve? Gentoo is still young enough that there is really only one main tree & one totally out there tree (at breakmygentoo.net)
