I have to strongly disagree. I really don't think that is a fair statement. If you survey the patches applied by the various distros and compare them to each other I think in general you will find that Debian tracks upstreams quite well in that comparison. Many of the other popular distros are often far worse. (Grr... Some of those are very annoying.) But this is a mailing list about the GNU coreutils project. Let's not degrade into a distro mud-slinging fest about which distro is better or worse than the rest.
