To be fair, though, most home Debian users use the testing / unstable
releases (that are actually quite stable in spite of the names -- the
*really* unstable release is called 'experimental'), that are pretty
up-to-date, rather than the stable release, which does lag behind
noticeably.  Debian/stable is usually run on servers, where stability is
more important than having the latest and greatest.

More pertinently to the OP, though, Lilypond seems to run quite well on
pretty much all the major distributions, so the choice on which one to
use really isn't dependent on whether or not one can use Lilypond on it,
but rather on the OP's personal preferences on other factors offered by
each distribution.
