Well, it depends. For the stuff I maintain, I tend to follow different policies depending on the package: - Library versions do not get upgraded in a stable release - The more core a package is, it only gets updated with occasional severe bugfixes - it is not ever rebased. - More peripheral things, such as some desktop apps, get updated to the latest minor bugfix version Hard to say how much this works for everyone, though.
