The thing that everyone has missed is this: There are no debian packages in the debian repositories for Freenet because Debian freezes software for *YEARS*. Freenet is not yet at the point where a version from 2 years ago, with critical security bugfixes only, is still going to be usable. That will not happen for some time. This isn't a problem with Gentoo. Possibly we could be in debian-volatile eventually. However, an official-to-Freenet, but separate-from-debian-repo's debian package is planned, and in fact we have one - although there isn't a repository yet. Ximin is working on this, hence recent discussions of config files.
