It shouldn't (and hasn't on my box), it still the same program and the
boot scripts havn't changed enough between potato and sid to make them
unworkable, BTW the info page install problem is caused by an old version
of texinfo not dpkg so if you still want to keep potato dpkg you can, just
build sid texinfo to get the info pages ( and what would the self documenting
text editor and kitchen sink be without them :)
