Hi Mark,
Debian has a development cycle. Packages are placed in 'unstable' when
they are untested, are moved to 'testing' after some testing and are
moved to 'stable' when it is decided to 'release' Debian. If you wait
long enough for the 2.10 packages to get 'enough' testing, they all will
enter 'testing' and you will not need to 'dist-upgrade' or move to
'unstable'.
Cheers,
Kev
