Why not use APT? Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib n
on-US/non-free
To upgrade: "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade". It handles everything and
installs all of the packages in the right order.
Because of the glibc2.1 upgrade, I'm not sure how to do it your way. I've
used APT since before slink and it did everything in the right order.
