Debian as a volunteer project relies on input of users to test all
scenarios. I'm sure exactly this combination was tested with a wide range
of users. However, your problem description is so vague ("some
lib-gd-annoying.deb" ?) that it's not useful to us to determine what the
problem in your situation could be so we can solve it.
A "rant" -as per the subject- does not go far to improve our system. A bug
report with relevant details, does. So I strongly suggest that anyone
encountering issues focuses their energy on the latter.
