I thought Ubuntu took "Debian testing/unstable" and made it usable!

I used Debian faithfully for years, but my last `aptitude dist-upgrade` 
ended with this:

281 packages upgraded, 177 newly installed, 464 to remove and 122 not 
upgraded.
Need to get 302MB of archives. After unpacking 1033MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] 

and I got tired of spending 30 to 60 minutes guessing at packages that 
could be upgraded without removing any that I still needed.
