Is my "solution" safe and appropriate? Should stable be included in my
sources.list permanently?
It is pretty safe and I would recommend leaving Stable in "sources.list"
because of security updates. You can set the default release in
"/etc/apt/apt.conf" like this:
APT::Default-Release "release";
Of course you should investigate why it was removed in the first place.
Maybe it was replaced by some other package or was too buggy. Just a
word of warning.
