Hi Jakob,

As I'm not sure what the best policy is here, I'd like to ask which

Well, you may select stable/latest versions by yourself. You should use
latest versions  if you want fetured but brobably unstable application (and
for us it's better choice because army of testers will be increased ;). You
should use stable versions If you want much stable, but less featured
applisation.

Stable/latest version is very usefull for distributives with stable versions
such as Debian / Debian Stable, Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS, Fedora(Rawhide) /
RHEL(CentOS) etc. As I know, guys from Gentoo team always included latest
version because Gentoo is rolling-release distro.
