Debian's hardening is adequate for most users, who are typically behind 
some sort of protection such as a router/firewall.

If you actually need a hardened system, it's far better for you to do 
the hardening yourself to address the specific threats you feel 
vulnerable to.  That way you have a better understanding of what has 
been done, why, and how.  Unlike Windows, where users typically allow 
Microsoft to make all of the decisions for them, Linux in general and 
Debian specifically put user choice ahead of cookie-cutter solutions.
