No need to use dselect. In fact its probably a bad idea....

apt on #debian says:

<apt> well, potato->woody is edit /etc/apt/sources.list, change all 
mentions of "potato" or "stable" (except security.debian.org) to "woody".  
Then "apt-get update", "apt-get install apt-utils debconf" and "apt-get 
dist-upgrade", et voila! 

This worked great for me. Damn thing messed with my apache config though
:-/ didn't keep documentroot the same place and so on... I know there are
issues with X4 on upgrading and stuff but I don't run X on my debian boxes
I've upgraded...

have fun,
