The main reason why that happens is that the WebKitGTK+ stable updates not only include security fixes but also several other changes, which is not how things usually work in Debian: https://www.debian.org/security/faq#oldversion Since WebKitGTK+ is conservative regarding API/ABI changes I don't think there's much of a risk there, but there's definitely a risk of introducing regressions, and unlike Mozilla or Chromium updating WebKitGTK+ can affect or potentially break any of the many packages that depend on it. That's why I started uploading it to the backports repository, and my plan is to keep the backports always up to date.
