Humm, maybe you can upgrade to hamm and then build your own set with
boot-floppies.deb.. Oh, no that isn't what you want I think :-)

You have to install the libc5 from hamm first.
Here's what I did, it worked fine for me.
get ( from hamm ):
libc5
ldso
libc6
ncurses3.0
ncurses3.4
libreadline2
libreadlineg2
bash
dpkg
dpkg-dev
dpkg-ftp
perl
Before installing any of these, start dselect and purge everything with
"-dev" in the package name, "wg15-locale" and "libpthread*".
Now install the packages listed above in that order with dpkg -i.
When you have successfully done that, use dselect to do the rest of the
upgrading. You must set it to look for packages in:
dists/unstable/main dists/unstable/non-free dists/unstable/contrib
BTW, I found that doing a "reboot" after upgrading can give problems,
because init seems to lose its sense of runlevel. If you "sync" "umount
-a" "sync" "reboot" then you should be fine.
Good luck,
Joost
