[SLUG] Mixing stable and testing in sources.list


Hi All,

A quickie...

I have in my sources list:
# Use the following lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file to be 
# able to access packages in testing:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main non-free

but I have many other lines that refer to other places and have stable
as the dist to get/update. Can one mix testing and stable in your sources?
eg I have these lines also

deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/linux/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/linux/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib

or will apt-get upgrade get confused.
