If you do not have a specific reason to stay on Debian 8 'jessie', also consider upgrading to Debian 9 'stretch', and then from there to Debian 10 'buster', which is the current stable release.
Hi,One 'specific reason' to stay with an older release is that almost any new release requires newer hardware (i.e. stops supporting some hardware that was supported by the older release).
IMHO, it can be understood that mainstream Debian team or the maintainers of individual packages tend to upgrade their hardware frequently. But that's not always the case in the end users' community.
