"Official releases will never be updated except for security or serious
usability issues. This is just the way Ubuntu and Debian work."

I object.

This is not they they SHOULD work. It punches holes into the security if
users are forced to add myriads of custom ppas to Synaptic just to have
current releases. Remember that a user has no control over WHAT software
gets updated by a ppa, you cannot limit their scope. Synaptic tells
users "there is an update", but NOT which ppa claimed this. If a ppa is
ill maintained or gets hacked, it could spread doctored kernels
containing malware to people unaware of the danger. software should only
be updated trough central distribution official software delivery,
otherwise Linux is no longer safer than Windows.
