Depends, but looking at the Debian news page, 2.2 (potato) was released
back on [15 Aug 2000]. There were several updates (7) to it. It was
then finally replaced by 3.0 (woody) on [19 Jul 2002]. That's roughly a
2 year span.

I've found this to be much less necessary when I started using Debian.

The move to Debian was a welcome change. Haven't looked back and doubt
I ever will.

Well, officially security updates currently only exist for the stable
release (currently woody).
