Assuming you set up dselect to use the apt method, I suspect that the
only problem would be that you have not gotten (m)any upgraded
packages. Change sources.list to point to testing or woody and run
[U]pdate. [S]elect will tell you what packages it wants to install.
[I]nstall will do the rest. Or you can use 'apt-get -u dist-upgrade'
which should get most of the upgraded packages and show you a list
before it actually installs anything.
