The debian package isn't really something supported afaik. And as for
'updates' last time I checked it lags horribly.
It's actually quite easy to update MediaWiki in your environment without
using the debian package. All you need to use is subversion to checkout
the release branch you want, and when you want to upgrade, do a svn
switch to the new branch, svn update, and run the update.php script.
Out of a bit of curiosity, what kind of database issues did you have
when you weren't using the debain package?

I have been at this for a while but just recently
installed the
Debianized versiion of Mediawiki from the Testing arena. I have been
trying, with some assistence & information from the Debian package
maintainer to get extensions to work that are not packaged with the
Debian Mediawiki. I am not new to Debian or Linux but only about a year
of practice with Mediawiki. I started off by installing the regular
version from Wikimedia/Mediawiki. After some database issues, I decided
(for ease of upgrades) to switch to the Debian version. All went well
including an upgrade, until I started trying to add extensions to the
wiki that were installed the "normal" way per the package maintainer.
This is not working. My question is : Is there any one else one the list
that might offer any tips???
