- - read and follow the release notes [1]
- - upgrade one machine and record your steps with a program like screen.
- - if all goes well just edit your steps into about two scripts that can
be run on the other machines (semi)-automatically (assuming that
configuration is essentially the same).

I would not recommend to run testing on ~100 machines. Testing might
occasionally break and with 100 machines Murphy's law states that it
will break when you don't have the time to fix so many machines. YMMV,
of course.
(Your post suggests that etch has been fine till yesterday, so I assume
that lenny's software versions will do tomorrow. ;-) )
