All the servers I run Debian on have nearly identical setups so once I  
worked out the mess I'd caused on the first one by blindly doing  
aptitude update, I just repeated the process on the others.  I  
probably could have put off the upgrade for quite some time, even with  
some packages having been updated early but in the end the upgrade was  
simple enough anyway.

Indeed - I thought I'd seen the Debian upgrade for my lifetime  
already.... :)

Running away now....
