So far I was using the set of packages provided by the submitters of upgrade-reports, so I could investigate them. The plan is to install (for a etch package $PKG): 1) the sarge version of $PKG (if it exists) 2) the sarge version of the dependencies of $PKG (if they exist) 3) The sarge packages Replaced: by $PKG 4) Any sarge packages containing files now found in $PKG. 4) Manually added packages. Another approach I have tried was to split sarge arbitrarily in block of 100 packages, install them (and the dependencies of course) and attempt the upgrade for each block. I suppose we can improve the process, but whatever test we end up doing will be better than none.
