Tell me about it!  Two of the pieces of software we rely on are
Sendmail and PostgreSQL.  The Debian packages for both of those
products are... interesting, shall we say.  Convoluted, complicated,
with insane startup scripts, configuration options,... ouch!  My head
hurts!

We still use and like Debian around here, but we grumble. :-)
