i use debian 6 (squeeze) and used debian 5 (lenny) with nginx and no problem at all.
try to chown you gs root :
to install/update gs using the most recent csv you need
if i can add a small suggestion here, since you're installing a new server. use Debian 6 (Squeeze) and not 5, and try switching from apache to nginx. It's really fast and uses less resources. You can run many gs sites even on a very small box with less than 128 mb ram.
