  i've followed testing for many releases.

  i've now altered my sources.list to make sure all
the unstable and experimental lines are commented
out (i'll change them back later).

  with this system booting and running ok i also
did the same edit with my backup partition and
since that version never had unstable updates of
any kind my upgrade didn't pull in anything i wasn't 
expecting.
