As opposed to problems in a fortnight? If you change all of them, you will have a whirlwind as soon as Jessie becomes Stable. If I were in your shoes, I would change the one reference to testing to Jessie. Track Jessie into next month and change all references to Jessie to testing or Stretch then, when things have calmed down a little. > Running `aptitude update' with the changes in place does not produce > any output that looks problematice (to me). But maybe that is not a > thorough test? It's no test at all. At the moment testing and Jessie are the same thing. But it will be awful the day that Jessie goes Stable because everything will immediately update willy-nilly and out of your control, all at once, to Stretch (which will be the new testing). I really should wait a few days if I were you. If I were me I would wait at least a month!
