How does it handle “seamlessly” changes that make a package incompatible with the already-released Debian stable? If it doesn't handle that, is it right to call that seamless? If one needs to keep a close eye on changes to make sure they can still be installed even on a years-old OS, the resulting packages can be placed in a custom repository set up with the instructions at <URL:https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup>.
