You might try to have a look at

Or the whole paper in general ...

   http://people.debian.org/~tille/debian-med/talks/paper-cdd/debian-cdd.html/

It addresse issues for users.  I'm in the very comfortable situation

I'm able to see Debian from a stupid users point of view.  Thus it was
an easy task to write down what I'm missing ...

Kind regards
