Take DammSmallLinux and try to make a development system and (real) soon apt-get gives fatal errors and again 'the bell tower'
Isn't that more about the distro/packaging quality/dependencies etc.? (I don't know anything about DamnSmallLinux so this is not intended as a criticism of it) A counter example I could offer would be: take ubuntu hoary, progress through breezy to dapper beta without ever having having to re-install from a cd and without really experiencing any packaging issues. Apt is just a (very nifty) tool, the joy comes from the distro having good practices around the way they organise their packages, dependencies etc. IMHO.
