Hmm, not a weekly-release.

In the first place, as a volunteer, there is no warranty.
I'm not sure what you mean but it seems lynx in Debian/etch 
is of 2.8.5 but it is of 2.8.6 in Gentoo, OpenSuse as I checked 
on my VirtualBox.

It is not so much sense to argue possibility but I'm afraid
Debian's release period is generally so long that the possibility
you mentioned could happen more likely with a stable version.
