Once a version is declared stable, pretty much nothing changes except major bugfixes and security upgrades (this may or may not change in the near future, others would know better than i). If you're using unstable, file a bug report. If it's not a big deal, set the severity to wishlist. -- finger for GPG public key. 8 Jan 2000 - Old email addresses removed from key, new added
