Debian is worse, much worse. Both the test and unstable branches have 4.53-3 as the latest. Stable is listed as 4.11-1! According to the nmap changelog, that was "stable" on 2006/06/23, coming close to two years ago. Nmap is so much better than it was back then! Ugh. I just roll my own.

For Nmap it is generally the case that x.z is /more/ stable and better tested than x.y when z > y. At least for nmap, you probably should add # Networking (or ~x86, etc) net-analyzer/nmap ~amd64 to /etc/portage/package.keywords I love Gentoo but don't expect the devs and package maintainers to make the best decisions for your particular usage case.
