My way is slightly harder, but infinitely more customizable for my needs, so I consider the extra 10 minutes spent worth it. I usually build new servers every now and then with different methods just to see if I can improve. Quite happy with my software choices though from a security and maintenance perspective. From an install perspective, not great, but not too onerous. Automation is the issue though, and I have been looking at solutions. eg Puppet, although also with the aim of giving myself a project with that for the experience. Phew, long answer!

You still have to manually create the group and users though. And you don't get the handy init scripts that djbdns-installer installed. Package dbndns (DeBiaN DNS) is a fork that includes the IPv6 patch. Lenny includes package djbdns (permitted by the license change).
