I am curious, I have heard both explanations at different times
regarding the meaning of stable... some people have said that only
stable versions of software are (or should be) included while others
have suggested that the term 'stable' applies to the
packaging/dependencies

Does debian policy indicate the 'One True Definition' of 'stable'?

Not trying to start flames (I swear!), just curious
