Are these issues still valid for squeeze? Do you expect some or even all to go away with the release of wheezy? I don't have experience as a sysadmin, but considering the size of your shop, did you consider investing resources in helping Debian with packaging newer versions of software (wherever this is possible/makes sense), so that you don't have this issue for the next release?
