If you really, really want *bleeding-edge*, that's sid. It updates
daily. Sometimes it breaks. Sometimes it breaks a lot. If you're
going to run sid, you should probably already be familiar with the
basics of running a Debian system, and have some clue about the Debian
bug-tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/, reportbug package). You
also almost certainly want to subscribe to the debian-devel-announce
list, and possibly to debian-devel and debian-user (both fairly high
traffic). debian-devel-changes gets a message each time a new package
is uploaded (so also fairly high traffic).
