I agree that the text can be a bit misleading (esp. if one reads the page quickly).

What about something like:
  Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r0 was released April 8th, 2007. The release
  included many major changes, described in our press release and the
  Release Notes. The latest "point release" (4.0r8) update was 
  published on April 8th, 2009
