Neither of these versions has long term support from upstream point of view. And try to look into patches http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-freeipa/freeipa.git/tree/debian/patches >In summary: I don't like that upstream is conflated with fedora/CentOS. >Of course I understand that this was done to ease development and not >out of malice.

It might easily happen that non-upstream patch caused a bug. BTW sssd is already in such state. Therefore we needn't care about distribution; we just need to know the version of sssd. Fell free to send patches if you want to have debian as 1st class citizen for freeipa-server.
