If Debian does what you want then why not go with it?  What would be the 
point in making Gentoo like Debian? Gentoo offers a different approach 
which many of us like.  It's all about choice - if you like Debian, 
choose it - but don't expect Gentoo to turn into a Debian clone. It's 
not going to happen.
