I think it would be almost the same as the default, with the exception
that the reference to stable would be switched to unstable like so:

   deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

becomes:

   deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

Then you would run:

   # apt-get update
   # apt-get -f dist-upgrade

then run a dpkg --configure --pending to clean stuff up
