I've been using aptitude for quiet a while under unstable, and I
didn't have a single problem with safe-upgrade, even Today, but I do
weekly upgrades...
The only problem was not able to upgrade xserver-xorg-core +
xserver-xorg, but that's already commented in different threads...
I've run it in i386, amd64 and mipsel...
