Do you mean those included in the QE distribution or those coming with the Debian distribution?
I would bet the the first are more reliable.

What do you mean with "improve"? 
You should check convergence of the calculation also w.r.t. ecutrho when using USPPs.

Did you check your atomic structure carefully (e.g. by using Xcrysden)?

Then it's likely to be due to either a library problem or a wrong atomic structure (e.g. almost overlapping atoms), in my opinion.
