In my case, there are dedicated yum repository servers which contain enough packages for fresh install, update and patching. Some packages can be installed without any additional approval process and some are only available through a change request. These servers are highly logged for each package transaction. This is same for Solaris IPS repository servers in our network as well.
Advantage of having package management system is that you do not have to carry around the package (along with numerous dependencies) by FTP/SCP-ing every time you need them to be installed. Of course, the packages available in the repository have to be selected carefully.

We have no telnet client installed! I don't like telnet, but the client is useful for troubleshooting.
Very true especially when you need to be sure if certain port is open on a remote box and you do not have access to nmap.

mk-build-deps
MK-BUILD-DEPS(1) MK-BUILD-DEPS(1)
NAME
mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's build-dependencies
SYNOPSIS
mk-build-deps --help|--version
mk-build-deps [options] control file | package name ...
DESCRIPTION
Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all
the build dependencies of the given package.
If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting binary package(s) will depend solely on the
Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively.
OPTIONS
-i, --install
Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies.
-t, --tool
When installing the generated package use the specified tool. (default: apt-get --no-install-recommends)
-r, --remove
Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch.
-a foo, --arch foo
If the source package has architecture-specific build dependencies, produce a package for architecture foo, not for the system
architecture. (If the source package does not have architecture-specific build dependencies, the package produced is always for the
pseudo-architecture all.)
-B, --build-dep
Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends dependencies.
-A, --build-indep
Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends-Indep dependencies.
-h, --help
Show a summary of options.
-v, --version
Show version and copyright information.
-s, --root-cmd
Use the specified tool to gain root privileges before installing. Ignored if used without the --install switch.
