Ok thank you, I think it worked. I reloaded and no packages needed any
updating. A quick list of the installed packages shows all the same
edition between installed and available. I think synaptic is really
nice once you get the hang of it.

That is precisely what I was afraid of and I asked to make sure I got it
right. So if in the future I want to adventure to the next release
instead of testing I just replace stretch with buster.

In most cases documents simplify that stretch is testing, so I thought
there was no difference, then something I read recently made me think
once stretch becomes stable I would be bumped up a notch. Elsewhere I
read that once you are up the ladder the only way to backtrack is to
reinstall.
