Yes, Anne Bezemer was talking about that a couple of months before the
release. Apparently buzz (1.1, the first official release) to potato is
possible with a little manual intervention and one reboot
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd-0005/msg00018.html); there are
instructions at

I've no idea how well they work. :)
