Chapter 5 of the Debian Reference[1] is called "Upgrading a
distribution to testing", but actually it covers upgrading from
Potato to Woody.
Nonetheless the described procedure is still usable for your
intentions, you just need to adapt the steps.
But: Tracking the testing flavor of Debian has a side effect of
providing very slow security fixes. So be warned.
