You can track HEAD, or you can stick to a branch - whathever suits you best.

Sticking to a branch means that you don't have to deal with constantly
updating packages and dependencies, and that you can benefit from having
binary packages, but it has some drawbacks in case of a security problem. 

Kind regards,
