The Debian software release system has more or less 3 streams: stable,
testing and unstable. Software that is intended to be released follows
the path: unstable, then testing, then stable (in 99% of cases). The
path bug fixes take is that they are noted by someone, someone finds a
fix and then someone trusted by debian uploads the new package to
unstable. A fix can take 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, or even 10 years as
was recently noted on planet.debian.org.
Luckily a great many happen in less that 10 days by a Debian contributer
or someone upstream. And general advice for unstable users in your
situation on debian-user is 'wait a few days'. But figuring this out is
part of the adventure :)
