One of the general problems I have been running into include several
(sometimes all) of the following patterns.
* Few users affected by the bug, and they are not necessarily
skilled enough to test updated packages.
* Maintainers able to fix the affected packages not able (or
willing to setup something complex) to test the fix.
* Maintainers with not enough time to work on the release and more
focused on experimental.
* Consequences of poor upstream design choices.
* Upstream insisting (sometimes rightfully) that the only
reasonable fix is a major update incompatible with the freeze
policy, sometimes with an impact on dozens of other packages.
