It is not a flaw. It's a designed in feature. _The Point_ of Debian is to produce _stable_. All else is mere means to that end (though perhaps useful in other ways; you _may_ run sid IFF you're willing to accept _non-stable_ behaviour). Stability is what Debian was trying to produce when Murdock & friends began. That's still a cornerstone value. Considering all the downstream distributions based on Debian, that strategy is working well. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
