Good point. 14k packages (in Sarge) is a lot, and probably covers most "real enterprise use" you might imagine, unlike with some other OS vendors. (Some more than others.)

Also note that the upgrade path is supported: bugs in the OS upgrade are treated like real bugs, unlike with some other OS vendors who will tell you "oh it's just so hard". So by the time support for a version is dropped the upgrade path to the next is well tested and will probably go smoothly.
