This is on point for Stable releases of Debian and is working as intended. However, there are many of us that run the Testing or Unstable releases of Debian. While this might not be the ideal way to run Debian, it is a way to run Debian with far more modern packages. While it's not a rolling release like other distributions, it is slightly closer to to this with, perhaps, slightly less risk compared to a rolling release.
