Well then, I wish you good luck in your research.

I await your return to the fold.

This worries me.  An upgrade shouldn't break now.  Sarge is frozen and
therefore very, very close (for debian read less than six months [plus])
for becoming stable.

I've had no problem upgrading.  So can I ask what commands you used to
upgrade?

In March we have our "Hacking and Installing Feast" and I will be 
bringing the SLUG debian mirror along to that.  If anyone needs it
before then shout and I'll bring it along to the next meeting.
