 No, we don't.  We hope people running unstable report any problems they run
into, so that information can be used to improve Debian, and hopefully
prevent others from running into the same problem with a future version of
the package.  (I'm not a Debian developer, so I hope I haven't been
presumptuous in saying "we".)  There are lots of people who can make useful
bug reports or mailing list posts about problems they run into who don't
have the time or the inclination to fix every problem they find.

 Anyone who is willing to deal with problems should run unstable to help
test it, so that it can go into testing, and later become stable.
