Even LTS distros have backports, don't they?

The question is always: what is more important, the distro or
the package? TeXLive is so big and I use it so much that
installing a new version manually once a year off the DVD
is worth it.  Anything Haskell-based is nicer to install via cabal.
For everything else I stick to a distro (and yes, I have strong
preference for LTS in that case).
