you don't need to wait for Debian packages, and you can build them
yourself, for any revision that is required. Then the whole
installation and upgrade process is well-managed, with proper startup
scripts and permissions. I guess the RPM's are easy to build as well,
I just never needed to do that.

The package builder is failing under Ubuntu, but it's not a server
platform anyway :-))
