hoary->breezy-preview upgrade test

It's gone pretty smoothy!  Three issues I noticed:

-The locale messages that are spewed from Perl might make people think
something is going wrong with the upgrade.

-I used aptitude, and lots of packages were kept back.  It was annoying to
have to perform the upgrade in two stages.  Perhaps there is a way to tell
apt not to keep back pacakges, but why should this be necessary during a
dist-upgrade?

-New xorg could not find my "keyboard" module, failed to locate core modules;
fatal.   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg took care of it somehow.

Thanks for the great work!
