"The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0. This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustment to serious problems. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update against ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late changes. Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update."

Yo, but that's intentional. For a extremely wide volunteer project like Debian it would be impossible to have bleeding edge and rock-solid stability the same time.
For those who want stable base installation and just some new apps there is always the option to use Stable + Stable Backports + Volatile.
