LTS is exactly this pain!

I really don't understand why anybody would use that for development. Your SW won't land anyway in the current "stable" distri release, but at the earliest in the "next" version. So you need to develop against that "next" version anyway. The "next" version is something like Debian Testing…

And if you don't plan to release your SW properly into a distri you need to bring your own environment anyway.
