Two reasons: bug fixes for any problems I would notice (things not
working); security-related bug fixes for problems that I don't notice
but that are important. The same reason that its important to subscribe
to the security-announce list and/or do periodic aptitude updates when
running stable to check for security fixes, and apply them if found.
Applying a security fix generally involves downloading a new package.
