Simply upgrading apt is enough. To give some perspective, here is what
is happening during the upgrade:
716 upgraded, 241 newly installed, 17 downgraded, 86 to remove and 2 not
upgraded.
I also did it without using apt-pinning in /etc/apt/preferences (ie so
none were downgraded). This went fine too.
