Hmmm. Isn't it better to first change the sources list, then upgrade
Perl, then upgrade apt, dpkg, etc, and then do a dist-upgrade? Seems I
have read that a blanket dist-upgrade from stable to testing is not as
seamless as you suggest, but it has been awhile since I looked at this issue.

Last time I upgraded to testing I had to do that. Update perl first. The
rest of apt wanted it done first. I don't know what apt is written in, or
why it wanted that first, but once I upgraded perl, the rest went with out
any problems.
