You don't need to wait for Debian packages, they are already in our public repo. These packages will always be up to date with our latest public releases.

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 :-)) https://freeswitch.org/jira/browse/FS-7534

+1 on Alex's approach.
I used to use RPMs, but constantly waiting for them to be updated turned into a PITA, so I switched to source code as well.

My personal view is that distro packaging for Freeswitch, Asterisk, Kamailio, and most OSS VoIP elements is unreliable, inconsistent and lopsided, so the only viable approach is to build these things from source, always. This allows one to maintain granular version controland to apply patches as needed.
If you just forget packaging and learn to love the source, you'll obviate a vast category of problems and not waste time on fighting with packages. It also has the positive side effect that you can support pretty much any server distribution. Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu server, who cares?
