I've done it all in one line:
COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l | grep ximian | cut -f 3 -d ' ' | xargs apt-get remove
There are other ways to do it, using grep-dctrl, etc., but this was fairly
fast and straight forward. If you want to make sure all the configuration
files are removed too (not yours, the global ones), use --purge. I'd
recommend this unless you've made extensive administrative changes.
Then you can upgrade to woody, and run tasksel to install GNOME again.
[ By the way, sid has lots of the GNOME 2.0 developer platform, with more
coming in over the next week. Should be updated pretty regularly from now
on, too. ]
