Ok, but I hope you don't misunderstand that you can't upgrade your SuSE system
directly with Debian, but have to install it from scratch, renewing or
manually updating the configuration.
Secondly, the recommended way for staying in touch with the latest stable
version is rather like (exchange with your next debian mirror)
---/etc/apt/sources.list
# Next online mirror
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free non-US
# Proposed updates
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
---
Using other sources means not having a stable debian version.
