yes, but it is very easy, grab the tarball form drupal.org, unpack it and run
the install-script from your browser. it is quite straight forward

typo3 is another cms, it is very powerful. and  -yes- there is a debian package
available ;-) a little search on apt-get.org reveals where to find it
http://www1.apt-get.org/search.php?query=typo3&submit=Anfrage+abschicken&arch%5B%5D=i386&arch%5B%5D=all

I did not have any problems with it yet and I already tried the package on
etch, it worked for testing puposes quite well.

but after all before discussing wether to use a ready made cms, would there be
any effort? ok I do not have access to the website-svn, but before switching it
yould be interesting to know wether it would be a waste of the already existing
code or not. would it make sense?
