Well, it works fine for me.

If your problems are due to mistakes in packaging, and they're so 
obvious (what you say is true), I suppose it will soon be fixed.
Then maybe it's easiest for you to 'apt-get upgrade' in a few days to 
see if that makes you system more stable, and once it's stable, don't 
upgrade anymore...
