This one always boggles me and makes me wonder if we should present Debian
unstable or testing as the "typical" installation. Debian testing (and
often Debian unstable) is more stable than the distributions with
equivalent up-to-date libraries, and those distributions generally never
offer anything remotely like Debian stable. (RHEL is considerably more
unstable than Debian stable *and* has even older software, for example.)
