The one in potato has bugs <shrug>. It has always been said in the release
notes to do 'apt-get install dpkg apt' as the first operation, if that
causes all sorts of problems then it is necessary to make potato compiles
of apt/dpkg/whatever to resolve the problem - or to change the
dependencies of the problem packages in woody so it is not a problem.
Barring that manual resolution through dselect or careful 'apt-get
installs' will always solve these sorts of problems.
