I'm not a fan of the attempts to create universal packages. The problem 
they create is that you have multiple different versions of the same 
libraries and you're now relying on multiple people to patch security 
holes and bugs in all the different versions.

One of Debian's strengths is that all the programs (eventually) work 
together perfectly. I'll put up with bugs that sometimes creep into the 
testing versions because I know that they get sorted out and the final 
stable product is very stable and secure.

I do admit that I've seen more, and more serious, bugs in this testing 
release than in previous ones. However I also note that there have been 
some amazing changes right the way through so you have to expect that 
things will break.

I think the GIMP problems may already be fixed. After tonight's upgrades 
it seems to be working a lot better.
