For what its worth I've found that libranet is an excellent distro that
does just this (current but stable packages). I've been running unstable
for the past..... 3 years or so? Just to stay current. Over the weekend
I installed the latest version of libranet. I must say that the good
reviews I'd seen are well deserved. Seems that its based on sarge with a
few backports (current kde, gnome, xfree) thrown in. Out of the box it
looks pretty (good font anti aliasing, nice desktops). Had some nice
touches like installing the non-free nvidia drivers automaticly (it
asked first, i play games :) ), etc. 

Did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade after install and updated a few
packages from ftp.us.debian.org. So far its quite nice. I've tried lots
of other distros over the years. They don't usually last more than a
couple days before I get frustrated and go back to debian. The fact that
I'm still happy says a lot :) 

So yes, its a 'commercial' distribution, but I'm fine with paying
someone for this. :) And no I dont work for them...
