How about Drupal? It's available as a standard-issue deb though more
recent versions are on the Drupal site. Drupal is a cms rather than pure
blogging software but according to their write-ups plugins can be used
to achieve this.
I suspect an important reason for the popularity of web boards is that
they provide a greater sense of community than a mailing list and
become, for some, a place to hang out. At present, though, I don't think
anyone's really cracked the problem with web boards, namely that mailing
lists are fast, simple and don't require a gui to use even though they
are less flexible than the boards in some respects. In addition, web
boards require quite a lot of oversight and maintenance, in my
experience, not to mention server resources. So someone would have to do
a lot of work.
