I've always wondered about that myself. Every time I try to get more
cutting-edge than Debian "testing" (i.e., Debian sid, Ubuntu, or even
Fedora, in my experience ;), I get bit. So I'm quite happy with
Debian, despite annoyances like the fact that pgadmin has been stuck
at 1.4 in the debian main repos for way too long :( Yes, I can live
without compiz/beryl until it's blessed by apt.
