Actually, I'd suggest just looking at debootstrap from woody/sid and working with a chroot. debootstrap will build you a root filesystem from the current packages in the archives. Then you can chroot into that tree and do your configuration/limited testing before going for the full thing.

Not at all. Again, check out debootstrap, that's probably what you're
