Can't tell from what you've written, but you might be selling Debian short because you're not using the package system properly.
Many packages depend on others - this is true in other distros too. apt-get will alert on dependencies, but you might try installing aptitude (apt-get install aptitude) and use that. It provides a lot more context for what is happening, which can help figure out situations where a previous choice (especially mixing packages between versions) causes a conflict later.
