You Do know that you have just given about 5 repos.

core-updates-development all have the same packages, just later versions
extras, extras-development are also the same
and you have one third party.

Source is if you want to install source code so you can compile
yourself. Testing is of course, unstable. Debug I'm not sure, but I
assume it is a debugger friendly version.

If you enabled all of these, your system is sure to break, really fast.
