I use the WordPress files, because Debian's strength is stability,
whereas WordPress moves ridiculously fast, and there are occasional
security things that you need to get on top of.  Tracking WordPress
about two weeks behind their releases works well.  The problem is that
the number of WP blogs is *HUGE* so there is a high-profile attack
vector there.
