Well, actually, no. But probably I need to set my preferences right anyway.

Anyway, I decided to do:

aptitude -t unstable dist-upgrade

which does seem to have some unpleasant effects, but if it will lead to 
a more consistent system, I am quite happy, and will fix the rest later 
myself. (when it ends running in a few hours i will let you know)

At the moment my preferences and sources.list go as folows:

andrei@cibo:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 300

Package: *
Pin: origin experimental
Pin-Priority: 200

Package: *
Pin: origin debian.linux-systeme.com
Pin-Priority: 120

Package: *
Pin: origin maemo
Pin-Priority: -2
