You don't upgrade when using the stable releases... that's the whole 
idea, you don't have to worry about a new versions of anything, the bugs 
and security issues are backported, but the version stays the same. 
Highly desirable for "must work" systems, no so nice for doing cutting 
edge stuff using nice features you don't have. :-(
