Hello everyone.
I want to install debian packages on kali without adding repositories to sources.list (as recommended by kali). I started downloading .tar.gz, unpacking and installing the .deb contents with this command:

sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb

I downloaded and installed libreoffice with this method and it worked fine. But now I'm having another problem. I want to do this with other packages but they have 2-3 releases for jessie, sid and wheezy and I'm confused. Which one should I download.
Based on kali documentation, kali's kernel is based on debian testing and debian testing started as a copy of jessie. Does it mean I can use jessie packages?
Thanks.

Yeap, uploading a pack would help us to examine it
