Tell me a utility for Debian with functionality similar to FreeBSD ports: search for programs in the library and install in a couple of commands.

There are backports, there are newer packages.
And yes, in stable debian, programs are always a little outdated (unless someone in backports uploads a new version). The price of stability - if you update php54 to php55 in your production, you will pull out the hair on your buttocks. And then he will add a nayalnik.
The major version of the programs remains the same from the moment the release is frozen until the moment it dies.
