I think Tor LTS / 0.2.9 is in Debian stable:
http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/stable/
I've opened a ticket to add LTS to the Debian repository instructions:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23897
I wouldn't recommend upgrading to 0.3.0 or later, there are stability issues
on some clients, and maybe relays.

There's a bug in 0.3.0 and later that causes clients to fetch
microdescriptors from fallbacks. So fallbacks (and authorities)
will have extra load until that's fixed.
