Last time I looked, the wordpress package was a point or two behind
the current version. Many of these point releases seem to be to fix
security issues, so I have to question the wisdom of using an "older"
version for a potentially Internet-facing server.

I ended up using the Debian package as a starting point (it pulled in the
dependencies, gave me a really nice multi-site configuration capability
in /etc/wordpress) but then replacing the guts of it with the latest
tarball from wordpress.org itself.
