It's good to hear that your upgrade went smoothly, it's always nice to
get success stories. ;-) A few notes:

It sounds like you are following etch/testing. 

Yes, etch/testing should soon have mod_perl 2.0.0
(libapache2-mod-perl2 version 1.999.23-1) which is not compatible with
RT 3.4.2.

You should be aware that a very large transition in the way PostgreSQL
packages are handled in Debian has just begun in sid/unstable. These
will propogate to etch/testing in a couple of weeks if there are no
really serious problems. They will almost certainly mean changes are
required to the configuration, at least.

etch/testing is expected to become rather unstable and unpredictable
over the next few months as a number of large transitions take
place. We've been working on getting sarge stable for a long time so
now the floodgates will open and lots of big changes will be
unleashed. Anyone following etch is recommended to do so only with lots
of care and attention. If you want to run RT on a server right now I'd
recommend sticking with sarge/stable.
