I don't know what you mean by deprecated libraries and stuff,
everything except I think 2-3 apps is the same as in feisty, so if
anything 'deprecated' is there it is in feisty.
Sure, some stuff could have been better, but I'm glad that it worked as
well as it did.
That's something that I keep debating about. The "slow upgrade, but stable" model of Debian seems to go against the so fast development of Linux audio apps. Releases occur often and with good improvements so freezing versions "Debian style" makes you have to deal with bugs for long time, unless you build your own apps which sometimes is not easy to do (specially when the core libraries change too). I guess this model was and is successful for other applications like servers. That's what I don't like about Ubuntu Studio, you have to wait 6 months to get to use 3 or 5 versions ahead of Ardour, for example. Also they don't want to include any other app that is not authorized by the official repository and it seems that including specialized audio apps is not their first priority (PD-extended or Csound5 for example). Fedora works fine from that point of view since updates happen quite often and Fernando keeps up very good with Planet CCRMA and the new versions.
Just my personal opinion.
Cheers!
