Hendrik,

I see. Now that's another statement !

Maybe you should move to grub then, within Squeeze, and also try to upgrade 
only the 'problem' packages first ? if that's all fine, to the rest ?

I always do such things within aptitude, maybe in several cycles, since it 
gives me more choices than just running --upgrade. Including the choice to 
simply deinstall some apps temporarily (keep a list) and reinstall when 
everything else is fine.

I admit this is not what you would expect from a package management that 
provides --upgrade, but at least, there is a chance. 

There should be good reason why you would upgrade an Ubuntu (for example) only 
in minor consecutive version steps. In Debian, this resembles tracking 
'testing' all the time. The only alternative that i know, is temporarily 
deinstall blocking / broken things, and manually decide and process major 
changes (like moving to grub or upstart).
