In my opinion no. Debian has a slick management system. Everything is compiled and then what ever libraries and other files you may need usually will come right down with the package itself. Now there is a bit of a set back on Debian though also. Debian seems to be slow to implement new files this is due to their extremem concern of making sure everything is stable and that dependencies don't break. I can tell you right now Gnopernicus is at 0.7.1 on Debian. I am not exactly sure when this will be upgraded. Currently with Gnome I think it is 2.5 but don't quote me here. Hope this helps you to make a bit of a better sound decision for your system.
