What's the problem with updating to 8.6? In general I would recommend to always be at the latest package set of a debian release. One reason for this is to be up to date with the latest security fixes.
What's regarding debian software policy is that it is very conservative within one release, so you are very safe that no major changes are to be expected within one release.
Personally I can not help you achieving your goal, but maybe you can give some more informations why you want to achieve this.
