Never.  By policy and design.

Sid has been 2.18 for a while, and is now migrating to 2.20.

Don't know about Lenny.  It probably has 2.18, and will probably get
2.20 in a month or so.

If you want something modern, upgrade to Lenny.  (It's "testing",
but since everything in Testing passes thru Unstable first, where
many bugs are caught and fixed.

If you have the stomach for occasional isolated bits of breakage
(that gets fixed in anywhere from a day to a week), run Sid.
