I love Ubuntu, particularly the package management, but the magical stuff they do in packages is extremely frustrating. The base PHP module includes suhosin, while there's also a suhosin module which just places the configuration file, that should be there by default. Suhosin can cause apps to run amock if you're dealing with large arrays or big posts. It's a nice to have feature, but it's also a feature that needs to be disclosed to a developer before trying to develop against it. Anything that modifies the behavior of the base language needs to be explicitly called out when the package is installed.
