In eighteen months does the distro automatically update to the latest packages that are there in the successor distro? IMHO, it does not.
Afaik yes. aptitude is set by default to update automagically. Which imo is a pita.
They are not the same packages as in the distros released later. That is why the need to upgrade to the higher distro. If they could find some way to automatically update the current distro to the same package versions as the newer distro, it would be very useful and remove the current headaches.
