Worked like a charm (~1500 packages, 750mb, less than a couple of hours
downtime).  One observation: although the dist-upgrade was
performed over ssh, the installation of glibc was halted because xdm
was active; the option to continue was ignored and the interrupted
upgrade process had to be resumed with an 'apt-get install -f ' to fix
broken dependencies before re-issuing the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which
ran to completion without a hitch.

Respect to the devs.
