Also mention the bug tracking system. I find this a very important plus
of debian; it's an easy way of finding out whether the problem you are
experiencing is already known, and if not, an easy way of contacting the
maintainer. I think that this is something quite unique to debian, and
the existence of the BTS should be stressed.
