Er. I just added the woody lines to my sources.list and did an
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
It churned on for a while - occasionally dist upgrade seemed to get a bit
confused and claim it had finished when it neded to do more stuff, but I
just issued another dist-upgrade and it picked up where it left off. Had to
do that about twice, iirc, but apart from that it was pretty hassle free.
