GNOME started dying in weird and spectacular ways as dpkg did it's thing behind the scenes (not entirely unexpected, but interesting none the less).
Finally dpkg told me everything was upgraded and to restart GDM to get all the fancy new goodness. So I logged out, ctrl-alt-bspace etc. Gnome session died immediately after logging in and left me with a high session.
Reboot.
X doesn't work *at all*.
From my experience with shifting from debain stable to unstable I had similar results.
I would strongly suggest running upgrades from a text console for debian based systems....
