They moved from static to database-driven posting, changed the template system, etc. The change even broke Google's own Picasa's "Post Photos to Blog" functionality. If there is a debian packaged-client for Blogger, it sure won't be in stable.
But then, Blogger isn't OSS anyway. Wordpress is. I recommend it completely over anything else out there. You can use wordpress.com, or get a free web host and do it yourself (recommended). Installation is almost 100% automatic from the wordpress-version#.tar.gz file. And actually, it should be able to import your blogger posts, or typepad, or whatever you may have used before. I like WP.
