The statement is a bit vague but generally not false. Debian/stable is supposed to only receive security updates and important bugfixes so that version might become outdated over time. I'm going to provide a backported packages for stable users on backports.org, but this still needs to be done. testing and unstable should contain a more or less up-to-date version but this again depends on manpower to ensure a properly tested package. Perhaps it's a good idea to link the package page so that people can judge whether that version is sufficient?

This might become difficult since everybody uses a different setup, but something like a an example script that can easily be adjusted sounds like a good idea.
