I expect the Debian maintainers of such a package to understand the code very well themselves, because that would be a necessary part of the job. The upstream maintainers might well have a good clue about stability, but the point is that they haven't promised anything about stability. Stability means not changing features and interactions with other parts of the system, and I don't think they worry about that much at all. Thomas
