.deb's may do some of this, but not as well (per my little experience with Debian).

A straight tar/manual install offers no dependency and upgrade automated support. Yes, PHP depends on many things (php rev, associated librarys, possibly Apache modules, mysql integration, etc). Or at least, that's been my experience.

Counter this with http://packages.debian.org/lenny/phpbb2 , a nicely-integrated-with Debian means of installing and upgrading phpBB. vBulletin could theoretically set up their own Debian repo server, but judging by these thread responses, they don't currently have such a thing.

You would probably have better luck posting this at www.vbulletin.com as they are the ones you need to address this to.
