 Debian's hand waving about backports is rightfully ignored here.
+
+Apart from the obvious danger of running versions without any security updates - which is documented below, there are other problems with downstream packages:
+* invalid and unnecessary package dependencies (ie: Fedora)
+* enabling untested options or dangerous codecs (all distros)
+* gratuitous patching
+etc
