	I did this a couple of days ago.  There were about 350 packages
upgraded.  In sum, it worked quite well.  It quit a couple of time because
packages were trying to overwrite files.  I overrode these and sent messages
to the maintainers of the offenders.  I had to run ap-get dist-upgrade about
5 more times because things were being configured out of order.  But that
was all relatively painless.
