I'd only recently realized that distros worked this way--using SuSE and 
trying to find a later version to fix bugs.  Debian (testing) gets you 
the real deal when you upgrade.

I wonder how much effort it is to maintain your own patches and whether 
it is easier to test your patches than to test the latest version of the 
package.
