Numerically worse, of course. I understand (from observation) that it's
possible for a package to be upgraded and make something else
uninstallable when it also makes other formerly uninstallable packages
installable. (In other words, as long as the net situation gets no
worse.)

It's clear from http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/ that woody is
quite a bit better than potato, installability-wise.
