Debian's a bit funny. Maintainers tinker with packages more often than I'd like; they make changes to packages that already work perfectly well, and sometimes breakage occurs.

This is partly because of the autonomy that Debian package maintainers enjoy. I have slightly mixed feelings about that - but only slightly. I'd sooner have maintainer autonomy, and seriously-distributed decision making, than an overlord.
