Yes, updates should include bug fixes
No, getting only security updates is enough
Pretty pointless to respond to a post someone made in MAY =/
If someone tells you to sudo rm -rf ANYTHING, then DO NOT DO IT!
Don't run any command with rm in it unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing.

Minds are like parachutes, dangerous if kept closed!
I've experienced some regressions when updating to newer versions:
Dapper had a broken xmms (crashed if double size was used, could be fixed by adding an environmental variable)
Feisty had a broken Vice (black screen if acceleration was used, needed a newer version to be usable)
Gutsy's Pan broken (images shown partly, needed a bug fixed newer package). Also Kopete (crashed if MSN was used?), needed to download a fixed kdelibs package.
I think obvious regressions should be fixable through the updater.

It's already been stated earlier in this thread (and over a year ago): major bugs are fixed in updates. Minor bugs are usually not.
How do we decide which bugs are major and which are minor? Go over to Launchpad and participate in the process yourself.
