@karora: No it wouldn't be too difficult. One would apply the
sources.list change to a temporary or sandboxed clone of the apt config
that shares the dpkg cache lock, and then do the equivalent of dist-
upgrade --download-only. The goal is to populate the package cache with
the next releases packages but leave the system config unmodified. There
was a bug that the package cache is cleared during upgrade (thereby
wasting your effort), but this is alleged to be fixed.
