If your idea is to eventually track stable if and when buster becomes stable, then your approach is fine. One side note: If you put "stable" in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt will try to "upgrade" the packages to whatever is the current stable version. Currently that is Stretch and it will be buster after the next release etc., If you put "buster" in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt will try to track the buster release irrespective of whether it is currently stable or testing. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
