Yes, I include all (non-problematic) fixes for bugs - this includes the
man pages.

I'm not sure whether we really need to have the latest version of
everything - what are the great benefits of having a newer LaTeX? In my
opinion it's perhaps worth it upgrading some packages inside teTeX when
this fixes bugs, but I do usually prefer to stay with upstream and I
prefer waiting half a year for a new teTeX over trying to upgrade
everything ourselves.
