You evidently lean towards "power user".
I have some characteristics of "mass market consumer".
The points you listed appear likely to lead to alleviation of my

I'll draw an analogy from the development of the germ theory of disease
in the mid-nineteenth century. Semmelweis noticed a higher incidence of
death among women who delivered at the hospital with the help of the
doctors and medical students. Births attended by the midwives were
relatively safe. { see

Examples will have to wait on my specialized test-bed multi-booting
customized Debian 6, 8, and 9.
FTR there are recent bugs which sound similar
and discussion on the development and release
lists which talk about mariadb and the current
upgrade situation.
Were you thinking of something in addition to
debian-release, debian-devel, and debian-testing?
once you live on the bleeding edge it is worth
it to check the package bug lists and others to
see what is happening.
I'm not sure if I'm using BTS efficiently.
