In what possible way do you get this? Many FreeBSD packages are broken, etc. For instance, xemacs gives a warning about a lock directory on every execution. FreeBSD upgrade is not nearly as easy as Debian. It would be really cool if somebody would take the Debian package system (which really is not Linux-specific; it is hoped that it will be used on Hurd one day) and use it with FreeBSD.
