Missing an up-to-date application stream

[João Pinto]

Hello,
the described bug was the major motivation for the unofficial getdeb
project, and I guess for several 3rd party repositories.

I think this problem is more relevant to universe packages, the argument of
regressions risk should be compared with the impossibility to use key
features/fixes which are introduced on upstream versions but which are not
targeted by the existing SRU policy.

IMHO a key requirement for such repository is the upgrades selection option
versus the automatic recommended upgrades, this can be easily achieved by
expert users with APT pinning, however it should be implemented on a user
friendly manner. A user may select to have 99% release packages, and 1% post
release packages to cover a specific requirement.

Best regards
