Thanks for clarifying, I find it a little confusing that unstable and testing are still fairly stable (when their labeled the way they are), I think I am going to stick with Stable as of now because I am really enjoying using Stable and am not having any problems with it. One of the things I really enjoy about using Stable (this might also be true for testing and unstable) but unlike Ubuntu (its probably because Ubuntu uses more currently packages) I don't have to install a lot of updates (sometimes I had 30-50 or even 80 packages that needed updating but now its more like 5-10).

SYNOPSIS

	   my $src = Debian::Control::Stanza::Source->new(\%data);

	   print $src->Build_Depends;	       # Debian::Dependencies object

DESCRIPTION

       Debian::Control::Stanza::Source can be used for representation and manipulation of "Source:" stanza of Debian source package control files
       in an object-oriented way. Converts itself to a textual representation in string context.

FIELDS

       The supported fields for source stanzas are listed below. For more information about each field's meaning, consult the section named
       "Source package control files -- debian/control" of the Debian Policy Manual at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
