The title of your mail says "help needed _installing_ Debian 4.0", 
not "help needed _upgrading to_ Debian 4.0". That is a pretty fundamental 
difference and you put people trying to help you completely on the wrong 
foot by mixing up these terms.
Also, it is not really advisable to try *upgrading* from Debian to Ubuntu 
or vice versa. They are completely separate distributions, and some 
differences can cause problems. It may be possible, but mixing Debian and 
Ubuntu in any way is not guaranteed to work and you are basically on your 
own to solve any resulting issues.

If you are upgrading from Debian Sarge to Debian Etch, I suggest you read 
the release notes for Etch [1].

Cheers,
