I am also experimenting with upgrading potato to testing now that I have
some more bandwith available. I screwed up big time by doing apt-get update
&& apt-get upgrade instead of apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. I
tried to remedy by using dselect, but that only caused more conflicts and
essential package removal like bsdutils.

I think you shouldn't mix apt-get with dselect, but I'd like to hear some
comments on this. Or maybe use deselect to make choices and use upt-get
dselect-upgrade, but I haven't tried if this works.

Anyway, I experiment on a test system so I'm used to frequent re-installs
after screwing up :-)
