Heh, I guess we have somewhat different interpretations of "a while" :)
The images on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/_/debian) were last
updated ~24 days ago. We try to refresh them every ~30 days or when
there's a major security issue / stable release that warrants an
earlier rebuild.
We don't rebuild them more often than that because the downstream
effect is really large every time, due to the way image build cache
works, so ~30 days is the compromise we came up with to try and ensure
the images are reasonably fresh.
