I've been wondering about this a bit.  In sid, you can do 'apt-get
install sourceforge', and it's up and running.  Is it secure?  No idea. 
It's cool, but if you just install something that complex without having
any idea how the pieces fit together, it'll be really really easy to
make things horribly unsecure.
