Interesting. When I chose between Debian and Ubuntu about 4 years ago,
part of my reason for choosing Ubuntu was reading that Ubuntu's package
management was *more conservative* than Ubuntu's, and that as a result
Ubuntu packages were *more stable* than Debian packages. Did something
change in those 4 years?

(I've used both Debian and Ubuntu in that time and not noticed much
difference.)
