I would re-install from scratch... I know it's painful but it'll be the
last time you do it. With Debian you won't have to patch your system
as you did with Slackware. Debian updates go very smooth.
Any way, my recommendation to instal from scratch comes from the fact
that I have no idea on how to migrate from Slackware to Debian. I
switched from Slackware to Debian about 1 year ago and installed from
scratch.
