What Debian release do you use?

I have these repositories

deb-src http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib

which sure looks like Jessie to me, but on the other
hand, with

cat /etc/os-release

I get

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7.0"
VERSION="7.0 (wheezy)"
ID=debian
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"
HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support/";
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.debian.org/";

and with

lsb_release -a

I get

Distributor ID:   Debian
Description:   Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy)
Release: 7.0
Codename:   wheezy

But as for upgrading, aptitude uses those repositories
so in practice I should use Jessie (right?).

The reason I mention it is that Jessie should be more
sensitive to upgrades (naturally). Only upgrade when
you experience problems, or when you want to upgrade
one specific piece of software. Never upgrade
everything "just because". That's my piece of advice,
anyway.
