Having recently upgraded to sid, I want to try to ensure that I am able

I manually use apt-get update then apt-get upgrade. If no packages are
being kept back, I select 'y'. If I see packages being kept back, I
will select 'n', then use apt-get dist-upgrade. If no essential
packages are to be removed, I select 'y'. If essential packages are to
be removed (eg. gnome), I select 'n' then run apt-get upgrade. After a
period of [n] days, these essential packages are eventually upgraded.
This method has kept an unstable i386 and amd64 system unbroken for many
moons.

Tim, like Jochen's reply, your post was particularly helpful which I'll
keep and refer to in the months to come.
Much obliged.
