Yum is marked unstable in Gentoo. It works sometimes but i got used to
unpacking the guest image and running a script that creates the config
directory and the config file... It takes me about 20 minutes to setup a
new vservar and have it running....

Yum in Gentoo is sensitive to upgrades of dependencies; it breaks
easily.... Whenever Yum breaks It's easier to unpack a guest image than
revdep-rebuild.....

I have used debootstrap in Gentoo to create Debian vservers and It works
just fine.

About Yum in Debian I don't know about It's stability status but I have
only seen it working few times....
