    Debian's package management is technologically superior to Mandrake's. dpkg/dselect are way more flexible and powerful. But the ports system is way better. That's why true Linux afficiandos who don't use Debian use Gentoo -- portage is based on the FreeBSD ports system. The only thing is that there isn't a simple, one-size-fits-all graphical interface to all that AFAIK.
