My experience contradicts that. I upgrade every ... hhhm ... time I remember. 
That's about two times a week, if I'm not VERY busy. And I don't use 
apt-listbugs. I got bitten only twice, one of which was due to an unofficial 
package (see my other post).

Not necessarily. The yaird issue had a good fix until the package itself got 
fixed.

Which defeats the very purpose to why many people are running unstable (and the 
OP wants to run it): to always have the latest software.
