I think it depends on which piece of Debian you grab.  For instance, I
installed AYTTM out of Debian unstable with no trouble...mostly because
the version in Universe is outdated and Yahoo changed their login server
so it doesn't work. Couple other odds and ends too.  Just don't get TOO
crazy, on the Debain repositories...get what you need and then disable
it.  That's the way I've been going so far and it's worked OK.
