Well, it seems you have to install RT manually on CentOS 6 [1].

I have no experience with Debian/Ubuntu, but I’d really only use packages in case I could package them up myself, specifically for this task.
For Debian, there are packages readily available, which get updated automatically.
Well, there are also packages for FreeBSD. RT and all dependencies.
I had not any problems with dependencies. You don't have to do anything. Sorry, to say this on this list, but this is a task I would choose Debian for [2].
The reason I wouldn't just blindly install or update packages is that I don't believe that even the Debian guys do sufficient testing to ensure that RT actually works after the update.
This is, of course, a highly RT-specific discussion. But in defense of CentOS, I don't see a fundamental problem running RT on it - actually, due to the long support-cycles, it might even be better suited than e.g. Ubuntu LTS. Ticketing-Systems usually have exceptionally long replacement-cycles. You just have to make sure you know what you are doing and find a usable change-management strategy.
