application-based systems are .mpkg files that contain automated installation of a product, or .pkg which are plugins or addons to an existing system... Debian use similar system, so if you ask if vBulletin can be installed as a package (.pkg), it is not possible... vBulletin have to be installed on your webserver with the install script contained in the archive... there is no automated-install or .pkg containing the script...
Sounds like the short answer is no one has ported said install process to a Debian package (I wonder if it's in an .rpm?). Not sure what all the other verbiage is supposed to mean.

actually, only high-end commercial website packages have that capability, from what i know... scripts that cost like 5000$ each with professional support in-house...
Unless we are talking about different things (?), Debian packages like Apache, phpBB, mysql, bugzilla, GNU Mailman, etc have this glorious, magic, all-powerful "package-management" feature as well. For $0. More for rpm-like things under other Linux distributions like Redhat flavored and SuSE.
One of is us if off in another universe; I can't tell if it's nexialys or me.
