Hi,

Historically we've run our product under centos, but more recently have
been running under debian.  Nothing interesting has come up with due to
differences in packaging.

One thing I noticed recently is that the beta RPMs were compiled with
debug assertions, and the DEBs are not.

I wondered that was a deliberate decision.  It might be the biggest
difference I've seen so far between the RPM and DEB packaging.

There's an argument for enabling assertions -- the point of running a
beta release is to catch bugs.  And an argument for keeping them
disabled -- that allows people to do performance testing, and to run the
beta packages in environments where performance can't take a hard hit
(like an internal development environment).
