That's awesome Brian, I'm also a member of the
keep-banging-on-apt-and-dpkg-until-it-works club, (as opposed to those
mamby-pamby re-installers ;)
But when I saw your post this morning I was a little worried, as one of
the more painful upgrades I've ever had was the gNewSense 1.1 to 2.0
upgrade. Which are based on the same two ubuntu releases that you were
working with.
So really glad to see you got through it without too much pain. (Mine
was broken for a month)

Plus I've been waiting for a good opportunity to brag about how well my
other recent big dist-upgrade  went. So fwiw, if anyone is considering
updating from Ubuntu Feisty to current Debian testing, that works pretty
well :D
