Hamish (or anyone else who wants to play with buzz upgrades), try the
latest autoup.sh (v0.20) which i've just uploaded to my usual websites.
it's a first stab at upgrading libc5 (to latest hamm version) and dpkg
(to bo dpkg version 1.4.0.8) before doing anything else.

and

please note: this is completely untested. hopefully it won't break
upgrades from rex or bo.
