Debian actually has a policy on this one. We need to support upgrades from the previous stable release. For lilypond, the oldstable version is 2.2.6. Once lenny releases (the current release-in-preparation), the oldstable version will bump to 2.8.7 (which is the current stable version). That means that the clean upgrade must stick around for the meanwhile, until the release of lenny.
