This isn't about "Debian stable" and "Debian unstable", it's about the
need to have an environment that has got the needed stable releases from
upstream installed. You need this, when you e.g. want to contribute to
large projects such as GNOME or some other projects that depends on tons
of libraries.
As I already explained, even "Debian experimental" does not comes with
the current stable branches from upstream.
