Thanks for everyone's help. I systematically went through every package 
and moved them to debian version if apt allowed me to do so. At the end 
I only have acroread from dmo and everything else is from debian. I 
removed mythtv also to get to this point. Since this is my desktop, I do 
not need to install mythtv and will keep it as close to debian as possible.

I do not have the same freedom for three other (debian based) machines I 
have (2 frontend and one backend) and it is going to be a bit of 
struggle to get it right. However, fixing my desktop helped me to 
understand dependencies better.  So... hopefully, I will find the right 
combo of packages to keep it close enough to debian.
