Adept users perhaps will be of more help, but this is what I would do:
check /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all 'feisty' with 'gutsy'; for
the time being I would also comment out all medibuntu (and other
non-so-standard-ubuntu) entries; apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade;
the latter will most likely encounter a problem at some point, then run
apt-get -f install and try apt-get dist-upgrade again. If there still
are some packages on which upgrade fails, you can temporarily uninstall
them.
