Yes, absolutely stable. You can login to both and see it by yourself - 
except that both machines are now powered off due a announced power 
outage today and Wednesday.

Step-by-step instructions are becoming outdated quickly. ;)
Basically you can follow what I've mentioned in my blog entry, but then 
you'll need to watch the errors from dpkg carefully, do some 
--force-depends or --force-all, get some more packages from 
snapshot.debian.org. Nothing really complicated. It's just a little bit 
time consuming, as always on m68k. ;)
And a good tip is: make a copy of a working installation and have it 
bootable on a different partition/disk. ;)

Same for me, but upgrading to unstable required no action under AmigaOS 
other than editing the startup script to change the amiboot line to 
match the kernel and another option.

Well, it's the 3rd or 4th machine I upgraded. Maybe that explains it...
