Indeed. I have used Debian Unstable as my desktop OS forever, and it's wonderful. It does not break nearly as often as you might guess by the name. (Maybe once a year.)
It certainly breaks less than Ubuntu, although I got rid of my last Ubuntu machine about a year ago.
Interesting, could you tell me what you mean by break?
Is the issue ultimately solvable by e.g. aptitude and alike or you need to mess around by hand in the apropriate dpkg files?
