Seconded. I use debian since 'apt-get --build source foo' is
guaranteed to build a package from source. With
org.openmoko.asu.stable I get frequent build failures. Most frequent being

And yes, I prefer debian for many other things too (no non-free

openmoko distro if I could compile it from source every time I needed
to test it.
