I did that once and it worked well, but just in case: run apt-get -f install
several times, and make use of apt-get dist-upgrade!!!

That's my opinion as well...

It works if you don't, but the system is "cleaner" if you do so. Make sure to
install ALL KDE2.2 related apps from unstable!!! (especially the libs and
doc-debs!!!) But all in all it works really fine, I'm just writing from a
woody-box with sid's KDE-packages... and my KDE-session is running several
days now...
