I did a potato->woody the week of the 10th, no major problems.  I
asked on #debian first and was told to do upgrade apt-utils and
debconf first, then a dist-upgrade would work.  I had to manually go
through the list of packages because I ran out of space on /var, but
didn't have any problems besides that.
