Yes.

Perhaps it is my greater time with Red Hat / Fedora than debian / 
Ubuntu, but I don't like this aspect of debian.  Note: I'm not talking 
theory, I'm talking experience.

When I'm asked by debian (dpkg) what I want to do in the face of a
config file change, I'm not in a great position to deal with it (my
system is in a halfway state and out of production).  The tools they
give for dealing with it are not that useful (although I could not do
better).  Dealing with this before the upgrade is initiated might work.

Fedora's fire and forget updates are better.

Another version of this: the RPM guidelines say that package
installation should NOT be interactive.  This turns out to be a win.
