I am not a Debian developer, and I agree that sending fixes upstream
is good. But surely you're aware that the whole point of "Debian
stable" is that it does ***not*** change to newer versions of programs
after release, apart from security fixes? Debian is well known for
taking the word "stable" seriously (e.g. [1]) and it's a reason people
choose them.
