Well, what it meant was to change your sources.list to point to testing
instead of stable and run 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.
I'm not sure if the following is currently necessary, but a few months
ago you needed to install the new versions of apt and dpkg before
running the upgrade:
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to use testing instead of stable
packages.
2. Run 'apt-get update'.
3. Run 'apt-get install apt dpkg'
4. Run 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.
