Dear Soren et all,
I think that there is a slight misunderstanding about what "Debian Stable" means. Please see
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStability
Esepecially this part:
"This is what Debian's Stable name means: that, once released, the operating system remains relatively unchanging over time."
Have a nice day (or night for that matter)
