It can be. For stability, a better idea might be installing slink, then
use apt-get to install the potato packages you need/want (apt will flag
dependencies for you). I've had a lot of luck with this method, and
I've been bitten good by potato when using dselect and letting it
install "New/Upgraded packages" when it wants to.
To be fair, I've had good luck overall with potato (this PC and my
laptop at work are potato systems).
