Debian Testing, while not fully up-to-date, generally has the latest
stable release of most actively maintained packages, and sometimes
even release candidate or solid beta versions.

For those who want a stable system with the occasional newer package, Debian Backports may be the best way to go.

Backports are packages from Testing which are compiled for the stable release. So it won't suck in a whole lot of newer library dependencies just to install the testing version.

Orca 3.36.5 is currently available in backports.

For more info about Debian Backports, see https://backports.debian.org

Cheers,
Geoff.
