Well, I don't know if you can just start tracking stable without running
into problems and still get necessary security updates. I will likely be
finding out, though :).

/etc/apt/apt.conf needs to be changed. I prefer using /etc/apt/preferences,
but minimally apt.conf should be set to track stable.

There have been a couple of other issues I've seen or that have been
mentioned on the list. The big one was Austin's problems tagging a downgrad=
e
to testing.
