so just the two deb.debian are enough.
now and then revert to testing and brace for the tsunami.
The version of Jessie is still 4.2.... stretch and sid are on 4.5.8.... in arch based distros 4.5.10 is what they call stable!! This does not mean that 4.2 may not already be patched due to this security issue on jessie.
This is one package as an example.

This is odd advice. (Not the bit about backups. Backups are
always important.)
Stretch will become the new stable in a few weeks. Changing
to "stretch" will make that transition early, but changing to
"unstable" will make that transition and then, after stretch
becomes stable, will incur a lot of package churn and breakage.
If this discussion happened a year ago, the question would be
whether you really wanted to go to testing or to unstable. They
have different purposes.
