The big difference is more likely to be the CPU-specific optimizations.
Generic distros are not able to build binaries with them because of the
range of downloaders, but your custom build could.

On the matter of Debian packaging 3.5.9, it happens when it happens. The
big issues in the last few releases have been SSL-Bump bugs so not
relevant or big priority for Debian.
