Wish to understand LMDE 201204 Xfce Update 'Pointing'

Can't find a tutorial or wisdom about 'Pointing' LMDE to more stable or less stable update repositories.

What are my options and consequences?
Where can I find knowledge, before I mess things up by editing etc/apt/sources.list?

Update Manager... Update Pack Info... reports:
'This system is pointing to the Linux Mint Debian Latest repository.' and
'Last Update Pack used by this system - 4'

I'm evaluating Linux Mint LMDE Xfce on Acer Aspire One 532H. (Not without a few other problems...)
Have used several Ubuntu versions and Linux Mint Gnome and LXDE with success.

Thanks,
Kurt

I have found a few things:
