Thanks for your reply, chaley. Some of your points apply to all Debian-packaged software, so for some things like Firefox and VirtualBox I do track the releases instead of using the default package versions.

Can you comment on ease of upgrading your library from one version to another? If I sit on 2.5 for a year and decide, hey, the latest version has a compelling to feature, will my Calibre Library/ upgrade safely? Is that supported? Or should it be upgraded from a more recent version? Or is that directory/format very stable and there are rarely changes? Thanks!
