The latter part is mitigated a bit when source-only uploads are used, as those greatly reduce the impact of an unclean build-environment on the DDs side. But during library transitions "unstable" gets hit with this with the full force, doing "apt dist-upgrade" blindly will see you remove the major parts of your system quite easily. You have to use your brain a bit when using "unstable". Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
