Aurora is alpha and will be 47 - a long way from release-ready - and beta is 
almost release-ready, so probably 46.  If you had trouble with esr45, why not 
try release?  It should be up to date and stable.  esr45 is supposed to be 45 
long term support - but 45 might still be sufficiently different not to have 
the bug.  I currently have 45.0.1 on Wheezy.  I have just checked and so has 
my husband on Jessie.
