Thanks for the help.  I'm finishing the upgrade now, so I'll see how the rest goes.  

FYI, the first part of the upgrade included X and I was running dselect in an xterm window,
oops.  A bigger oops was answering YES to the "Can I shut down XDM to upgrade it"  But
I logged into a console window and finished off the upgrade.  The only real problem I encountered
was the Xserver file was replaced wiping out my -bpp 16 appendage.  Maybe the config script
could put the contents of the old Xserver file in the comment section at the top.  It's a pretty
small file so space really isn't a consideration.  Just a thought.

Thanks to all of the maintainers and users, Debian is a great distribution!
