[Koha] Debian/Ubuntu vs .tar enhancements

There are a lot of enhancements in the Debian/Ubuntu version of Koha which are not in the plain old .tar.gz build it yourself version, such as the 'site' and numerous commands. Are these going to be included in future versions of the .tar.gz releases? I was going to answer Jesse Lamberton's question about migrating Koha to a new server, but which sort of Koha make a huge difference. I can't use Debian because its older versions of Apache and openSSH won't qualify for PCI (credit card) certification. Ubuntu is current, but has been having strange lockups. A work around has been given and so far seems to be working (fingers crossed.) -- Bob
