Do you have a list of all of the packages that you installed by hand?

What do you have in your sources.list? Just because you installed these
packages by hand, apt doesn't know from where to download them. Also, why did
you tell apt-get to install these packages when you had already installed them
by hand?
Perhaps you didn't install all of the dependencies of these packages? I
believe that dpkg in stable has --force-depends enabled by default.
Can you reproduce this problem? If not, can you send a list of all of the
packages that you installed from unstable and their versions? A complete log
of the upgrade process would be best.
