I don't think so. It has different meanings. If you would change it
to stable instead of potato you'll be tracking woody once it's released
and might end up with security updates from woody that might be
a) uninstallable for woody dependencies and you might have potato in
your other deb-lines
b) unnoticed system-upgrades when woody is released. This can lead to
different severe problems, like huge not expected downloads, or even
service breakage due to changed setup/syntax and such.
To be on the save side stay with potato in that line and change it when
you are aware on what you do.
