The main issue is trying to use the distro packages for dependencies of the things you'll actually use the server for.
Over in the Python world I'd be perfectly happy to use Debian. I'd just use it only to provide an operating system; then I'd compile the version of Python I want, and use virtualenvs and pip for managing the actual application code and dependencies.
