i run am running 3.0b1 on a debian server that was installed using "apt-get". its install architecture is considerably different from the 5min install. the latest version of wordpress in my debian repository is 2.0.12.
my debian wp-config.php is debian specific and warns against changes to it. if wp-config were to be update by and upgrade it would most likely break my install. subsequent to my wp-config being off limits to alter changes normally made there are made in a file called wp-settings.php which is called by wp-config.php. so far the only change i have made in wp-settings is when i wanted to activate the mu functions for 3.0b1. despite lack of clarity on when wp-config.php should be updated. its better for me that it is never updated. a corollary given by andrew is that i will continue to be able to upgrade my wp install as long as wp-config.php continues to be untouched by updates.
