If you're feeling brave or masochistic, "deity" (the dselect/console-apt replacement) is kinda interesting. Comes with console and gui (gtk) interfaces, and has many improvements. I hate the excessively tree-like views and daft defaults, though.
but (for now at least - because I can't get it to work properly) I hate debian's way of building kernels, why not the same as everyone else?
When it's good, it's very very good. But a vertical learning curve. The main bonus of it is you can add/remove kernels using apt (package management for kernels!), which is especially good if you just use default kernels.
Which bit specifically isn't working properly for you?
