Heh, NetBSD's pkgsrc isn't much different, most ports have some options you can set, and it's easy to customize the ports. Debian however uses precompiled binary packages so nothing can be customized while using the package system. I frequently do 'make patch' or 'make configure' on ports and then go into the work dir to edit the sources.
