And of course it won't change because it's a stable release and stable
releases only get security fixes etc. blah blah the usual stuff. Ok
nothing realy new. ;)
Ubuntu has afaik a faster release cycle but won't do package upgrades
within a release. So you can always stick with the latest soon to be the
next release development part or not.
Regarding Debian I would like to provide a backport for etch but I could
not find someone who's willing to sponsor it so far. I still hesitate to
publish my own i386 builds in an unsinged repository for the big masses.
But if you dig deep enough you'll find someone else who also did some
backporting on recent LyX packages and made same avaible in an apt-get
enabled repository. From QA point of view they looked ok.
