Stable is stable is stable, and it is not meant to be modified unless necessary (this means, unless there is a vulnerability or a grave functionality bug). All development is made in unstable - If you upload a package built in stable it may not even work. Many important system libraries, compilers and interpreters have changed. You _will_ find important problems if you do your Debian development work in stable. You could set up an unstable chroot environment on which to work in your system, or use pbuilder.
