What ?! Debian doesn't have dependency hell ?! Bullshit!
Debian's dependency hell shows up in the very fact they can't even release in a predictable schedule.
Furthemore, Debian does not differentiate between "base" system and "userland" software (such as *BSDs do). Therefore, even your kernel package might be accidentally uninstalled - and this HAS happened - see the paper:
