I would recommend duplicating the Stable lines, rather than replacing
them. Then replace the "stable" or "sarge" in the first (top) set with
your release of choice.

This way, the system can fall back to packages in Stable if it (or you)
need(s) to.

Also, don't change the "security" line; leave it at stable.
