Huh? I've had two systems on woody for _AGES_. They both started from potato,
then I just added the woody line and picked my way through the mess with
dselect. (aside: I've since switched to aptitude. What's the recommended
console front-end to apt atm? Deity? Is that at all stable / usable?)
Every so often I find I have to hold a group of packages while dependent
packages get uploaded, e.g. all apache-related stuff at the moment as php4
and friends still want an old version (and all apt stuff for aptitude
similarly), but for the most part it seems to work. Am I missing something
here?
