For those of us who run Debian / Testing, remember that after a major
release (Testing --> Stable) a whole bunch of backlogged packages will
move from Unstable to Testing.  Things *will* break.  Because these
packages have not had the testing that is available in Testing, there
will be problems.  In most cases, this will be because many packages
will have unmet dependencies.  This will be solved.  In a few months,
Debian Testing will become as stable (more?) as most distros' current
releases.  

The above was meant as a statement of fact and not in any way an
attempted flame at non-Debian users.  The following, however, is an
attempted flame:

seen in a /. .sig some months back: Ubuntu is an African word that
means "cannot configure Debian".  :-)
