Not too many weeks ago I was looking for the same thing. I ended up with the book Debina GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed. It does have 1120 pages in it but as you indicate it is a little outdated. I run Debian 2.2.17 here in my office and it seems to serve okay in that capacity.
The book seems to serve my purposes, Chapter 10 consists of 30 pages relative to Debina's Package Management System which is the subject I am studying. The CD on the back inside cover is for Debina 2.1 and oddly enough mine did not work. Others indicated that they had the same problem. I got the regular distribution from cheap bytes - 3 CDs for pocket change.

There is a book due to be published this month. I don't know if its good but I have high hopes that it will be good for just the exact things you talked about.
