this is kind of the issue with debian. its stable is "no upgrades" but many
upstream projects will just upgrade. we can't as a small project support lots
of prior versions of stuff. we just can't. so fixes often come in the form of
upgrades. this goes against debian and frankly this creates issues (well debian
stable i mean). if debian stable was more frequent (every 6-12m) it'd be a
minimal hassle. i don't see a solution to this though other than to encourage
people off debian stable onto unstable or another distro. if its unstable then
it's just a matter of people like you staying on the ball with releases. if
you forget - someone poking you and reminding you to upgrade. :)
