With quite DebianGIS quite up-to-date, Ubuntu already has rather
recent versions of most packages. I think stable becomes perhaps even
less relevant. For non-LTS releases I think we should not use it
(well, never say never). For LTS releases, I think the policy of
copying whatever gets on OSGeo live after the release is quite a good
policy. It gets a lot of testing.

Kind Regards,
