I understand your concern. I see three possible answers to this kind of 
problem:

1) Either release point releases more often, but then we have to be even 
stricter than now concerning backports to the release branch. Otherwise 
we will undermine the reliability even more.

2) Integrate selected bug fixes as patches in the Debian package.

3) Provide a private Debian repository with daily packages for stable / 
testing / unstable branches of Debian.

All three represent more workload and so the need for the necessary 
humanpower.

1) is generally triggered when there is a really critical bug. 
Apparently not very many see v.generalize as a function that is critical 
enough to trigger a new release...
