In debian install-recommends defaults to "true", which means that you will get all sorts of unnecessary extra packages when installing software

Debian 6 & postgresql
In debian 6.0 psql is linked to the lesser developed libedit instead of libreadline, see this or this
It can be bypassed by launching psql like this:

or wait until postgresql-common v114 gets accepted into stable
Debian 6 && nonfree
In debian 6 they changed policy about nonfree firmware blobs in kernels - and all those were moved to packages in non-free. In order to get full support for my realtek card(!) i need to
apt-get install firmware-realtek update-initramfs -u
Debian 7 & ia32-libs
in order to install ia32-libs on a multiarch (amd64) deb7, you must first add i368 to the list of supportet architectures:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
