I think the last time anything really bad happened was over a year ago,
when there were a lot of things going on with X. Other than that, I run
apt-listbugs, as others have suggested, and I try to remember to check
that packages I need are not going to be removed, as sometimes happens,
resulting in a few days' annoyance until a missing dependency is fixed.
