First question here and Debian total noob. Yet I have a few VPS with running WP install and I need to upgrade from Jessie to Buster.
I tried to upgrade from 8, to 9 and then to 10, everything went smoothly, the test VPS did not burn into flames and the two WP installs on it are running just fine.
However, and despite changing the sources.list each time I am using the command APT for updates I have jessie still popping up. as such
Looks like you installed php7.3 from that repo, sources file is in /etc/sources.list.d/ directory. If you go to https://packages.sury.org/php/dists/ you will see the jessie repo is not there any more. You should change that source to buster but maybe you have to upgrade php through stretch first. Not sure about that. Either way you may have to import a new release key for the new repo. php7.3 is in buster repo anyway, there's probably no need to keep that 3rd party sury repo at all.
Upgrading release versions is a major undertaking and you should read, understand, and follow the Release Notes - https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/releasenotes

A newbie-friendly way to find these mystery entries is to install inxi and run "inxi -r" in a terminal. It will tell where the list file lives that's creating that channel.

Excellent! Some of you are getting the message of ease of use available in Debian.
Now you go into synaptic, surely you use it as it's a standard install in that ancient stable and there you can easily edit your sources.
/etc/apt/sources.list
1: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
2: deb https://packages.siduction.org/fixes/ unstable main contrib non-free
3: deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra/ unstable non-free contrib main
4: deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra/ experimental main
5: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
Ahhhhhhhhh, can't get none of that there ancient stable stuff here.

That's just about the worst sources you could possibly suggest for a "Debian total noob"

I spent some times to remove every notion of Jessie in these files and replace it by Buster, it worked... However, I was a bit cocky and try to push my luck and XXX it up. The problem, for me is the transition from MySQL to mariaDB.
I came to the conclusion, that it would be easier to get a new VPS and install everything from scratch (OVH is stuck with Debian 8 in their Wordpress offering) and migrate. I will try that soon. Hope I won't have to bother you again
