In addition to what other have said, I'd strongly recommend against using apt when attempting cross-grades, as the way apt currently supports it is by removing the old instance and installing the new one, which might render your system unusable. Also to perform some cross-gradings you might need for some shared libraries to be marked M-A:same which they might not yet be. You can use bare dpkg, which does support cross-grading natively, but then you might end up running into dependency-hell... See my example cross-grading session in <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/03/msg00005.html>. Altough splitting the --unpack and --configure stages should make the cross-grade easier.
