You will be screwed if the only solution to a fault is going to be a new
release of the software that won't be made for your long term distro,
but the next one that won't be released for a very long time.  I've seen
that before.

That really shouldn't be the case, though.  You report against a
package, such as Apache, more specifically the source.  So if your
reported fault can be found in the current package, then it should be
fixable.  If the fault can't be found (such as it being dependent on
something on your system, or 32 bit versus 64 bit, and you and the
maintainer have the opposites), then that makes it harder.  And, like I
said earlier, if the fix has to be part of the next release, rather than
can be handled in the next update, you can be stuffed.
