I know very little about Debian (I have a copy of woody) but I think you're 
doing it again, you cant compare the two as they 'are' differant.

Debian from what I remember is a true web install distribution the piggy bank 
of applications is huge hence the justified claims of it being totally 
configurable to individual tastes and needs.

Suse on the other hand is almost closed shop, yes you can add other repos 
install stuff from say sourceforge but as said before you're then in the 
realms of "Ah you changed the defaults sorry mush, cant help", of course Suse 
comes with all the popular standard packages.

Not really unless, as said above, you add non standard packages but then thats 
where Yast is quit good it will give you a list of remedies;
Install  such and such dependency
Remove such and such package
Carry on and risk problems

You just select the appropriate action.
