wily isn't in either testing or unstable any more.
If this prevents it from installing, perhaps xlibs could conflict with
those packages that have been removed rather than updated for the new
app-defaults arrangement? Otherwise it's going to be difficult to
achieve a clean upgrade path without reinstating lots of packages we've
removed (presumably for good reasons).
I realize that an enormously long Conflicts: line for xlibs would be
bad, but there should be relatively few packages which contained
app-defaults files and were removed between potato and woody.
