      Yeah given Debian’s policy of “if that version doesn’t have liver spots yet, it’s not going in our distro”, their testing has been more stable than other distros’ stable in my experience

          Liver spots are a skin condition that fairly old people sometimes get. They’re like big, dark freckles. Usually pretty harmless. The above poster is referring to Debian not accepting packages unless they’re quite old.

          “Liver spots” are the dark spots that light skinned people develop on their skin as they get old.
