Normally yes. But if you know there is a known bug in your package,
and by one reason or another you can't/don't want to fix it, it would
be nice to have a look sometimes at the list.
I'm just a bit upset. It took me some time to find it, and it was a
known bug...

In my case, I installed some packages from unstable (gcc and cpp among
them). After that, I noted that g77 didn't work with the new gcc (and
there was no newer g77). I had to downgrade. All this happened in the
same day I installed Debian, so I had no chance to note that I've
broken the system with this incursion in unstable.
It's over now. :-)
