This was posted by Dwarf on the devel list. Slighty edited for brevity.
http://www.polaris.net/~dwarf/
snip
2. Before doing the upgrade, but after an 'apt-get update', first do:
apt-get install apt dpkg apt-utils
Lots of stuff gets removed at this stage, probably because of
dependencies on libraries that have to be upgraded for apt and dpkg.
Best I can tell, these all get "repaired" later in the upgrade.
I've added apt-utils to this pre-upgrade list because debconf
complains
that it isn't installed otherwise, and fails to do its thing.
3. Now an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' is possible, but when the smoke clears
it
is still necessary to do 'apt-get -f install' to clean up some minor
messes.
4. snip
Second: For obvious reasons, xserver-svga is upgraded, but
xserver-xfree86 is not installed. This is expected and easy to
deal with.
This pretty much describes a couple of my upgrades.

The 3c5x9utils package (afaik) will only report the resources being used. Chances are good though if it doesn't report the irq, the card will not work or be worth the trouble.

I think woody uses ver4 as the default ver of Xfree86, in which case I don't think 'xf86config' works. For Xfree86 ver4 use 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' or use 'dselect' and install Xfree86 ver 3.3.6, which is what potato uses. KDE doesn't have much to-do with as a X-server :) -- Greg C.
