Its debatable that Debian Stable is more "stable" than an LTS release of Ubuntu/Trisquel considering they both contain old package versions that have been "frozen" and tested to get security updates without breaking the system. You get point release updates instead of major releases during the 2 year cycle of Debian or 5 year cycle of Ubuntu/Trisquel.

Oh and saying something is "stable" in the realm of Debian equates more to "old" when you think about it. In reality, with the 5 year lifespan of Ubuntu LTS releases, it is more desirable than the 2 year lifespan of Debian stable for servers and corporate workstations. Oh and Ubuntu has PPAs so you have the option to get backported packages. Debian does not.
