I've been running 1.6 on stable (Woody), and switching back to 1.4 for
things that haven't yet been converted to 1.6.  (No, it isn't as
simple as running convert-ly.)  In both cases, they're unmodified
packages.  1.6 is what apt-get gets me, with the line:

deb ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/debian woody .

and I downloaded the 1.4 and leave it around so that I can install it
with dpkg.

I run the Woody tetex for lots of non-lilypond stuff.  I'm not saying
there are no bugs, but I certainly wouldn't say an unqualified
"broken", and I can't think of any problems as bad as some of the more
notorious Redhat or Mandrake ones.

Are your problems with 1.7?
