I had the big "unstable" name problem here, ppl translated it to "not -
stable (like atoms can be unstable and blow up any minute)". The mayor
fix is calling it either "sid" or in development.
Our servers here run on sid, since potato is much too old for us.
If it wasn't for my advocacy and for the lack of apt in other dists, we
would be running redhat now.
When we do a dist-upgrade, we do it on a non-critical machine first....
That seems to help, although we haven't had a mayor problem with
unstable packages in months.
