Sid = unstable. I've been using it for over a year now (as a desktop system), no big deals. >> 2. Are Debian packages compiled with optimisations (eg -03)?

How often will I have to safe-upgrade with Sid and how often do >> dependencies break? I use apt-get dist-upgrade every once in a while, it handles all the mess, usually without a fuss.
