If there were any big conflicts it would tell you. For instance it might say,
"REMOVING: gnome this and that and everything on your system" "INSTALLING
task-gnome-desktop, gnome-session, gnome-panel.."
You probably don't want to keep that line in there, and do regular apt-get
update/apt-get ugprades, because you're whole system will be running not completely
tested (or not at all) software.
Kind of defeats the purpose for running a stable operating system. A stable OS with
unstable apps.
