One pet peeve I have with Debian is the (as far
as I know) inability to
have more than one version of kernel installed at a time, so you can
choose an older version at boot time. That makes it a lot easier to
debug kernel-related issues. You can have 486/686/AMD64/whatever all
installed, but only one version of each.
I have several installed at the same time (both Wheezy and Jessie and
everything I have used before) and can choose in GRUB. (I only don't have
more because I don't want more than four or five.) I can certainly choose
an older version at boot time.
