There are some issues with this. * Don't use the word "stable" in sources.list, because it points to a moving target. When a new stable occurs, "stable" will point to the next release, and that is a VERY BAD IDEA. You don't want a surprise partial upgrade to occur. Release upgrades require planning. * You're missing the non-free-firmware section which most users will need for hardware support. * You're missing the security update source, which almost everyone will want, unless their system is un-networked during normal operation, and even then, they might still want security updates periodically.
