I'd have to say yes. The worst noticable problem now is that loging out
of an xterm corrupts the wtmp, so that last doesn't work. I think there
will be another update of X, and a new version of libc6 coming soon, which
may even fix the wtmp problem. If you can hold out until another set of
base disks make it into incoming (llug.sep.bnl.gov), I would. Also, be
sure to grab apt from project/experimental, it provides one heck of a
method for dselect.
Let me know if you have any problems,
Brandon
