If you run testing or unstable there will be updates available very very often. But, you choose when to update, you don't need to update anytime an update is available.

You should know what you're doing and expect this if you're running it. Otherwise, you should use stable. With stable, you'll typically just have security updates until you choose to update to the next stable, which typically is released every other year.
