In chapter 1. Introduction on page 24:

Section 1.4.2 talks about anticipated changes to the Debian project and system. As should become apparent when reading section 4.3.3, such changes are not to be expected in the stable release of the operating system, which is one of its main selling points. Thus, if you only track stable and have no interest in the surrounding project or new developments, you need not be concerned with these changes.

I keep a list of changes online to make it easier for you to track developments since the book's release.

Feedback

Richard Bejtlich, Tao Security: Krafft is obviously a Debian enthusiast, but he is not a zealot blind to any flaws Debian might possess. He is also not afraid to praise other OS' (like NetBSD) or declare that certain misconceptions (think debconf) are invalid. When necessary he compares Debian tools or syntax to other Linux distributions, such as a chart on pp 200-201 on apt, yum, up2date, and urpmi. The book also contains a large number of footnotes with URLs for more research and additional commentary.
