Marty,I know i'm overcomplicating the problem. But i think there is really something that bugs.
Read my last post again. There is a problem. A package with the same version number won't contain the same binaries at different T time in the different trees.This means you are now just a simple minor upgrade away from the final sarge release. You already answered your own question with a valid solution, which many others are using successfully, so I don't know what you think the problem is?
Apt doesn't know about binaries. It only looks at the version number.This means : the package-2.0 is my system (taken from the testing repositories at (BIG-SWITCH -4)) could be different than the package-2.0 in the stable repositories. And APT won't see it and won't upgrade this package. Therefore it seems it's not possible to fully upgrade from a Sarge testing to a sarge stable.
I know i put blur in people's mind. But the problem is true. I don't know what experienced debian users or maintainers think about it...
