> I mainly got hooked on their 'testing' branch since it is just "always up to date". Note that testing doesn't get the same level of security support as stable: "Compared to stable and unstable, next-stable testing has the worst security update speed. Don't prefer testing if security is a concern." [1]; more details: [2], [3], [4].

You can slightly speed it up by using apt pinning to get security updates from Debian unstable (but other packages from testing) when available. https://bugs.debian.org/725934 https://bugs.debian.org/725934 To speed it up even more you would need to follow the unstable/testing pages on the security tracker and file bugs to get maintainers to do fixes and do NMUs when maintainers are on vacation or missing. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/unstable https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/u... https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/testing https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/t...
