The FAQ mentions upgrades only from Debian Woody or from Ubuntu prereleases. Has anyone tried upgrading from sarge or sid? Are there conflicts?

Works, as far as I can tell.

I just added the Ubuntu main to sources.list, gave it a suitable priority, and then picked the stuff I wanted with aptitude.

Galeon stopped working while the upgrade was running, but that is not very surprising ;-) It fixed itself after aptitude was done.

I didn't run into any problems so far.
