My experience was this: When I started with Potato and went to Woody and
then Sid that the apt-get dist-upgrade method didn't work (but using
dselect did).
But when started with a woody installation the dist-upgrade did work.
(Although the network install for woody base was a pain due to hanging
mirrors, where I didn't seem to have that with potato).
Maybe that's because woody had the upgraded apt and dpkg?
