[plug] Debian upgrade

Being the impatient, inquisitive sort, I decided that I wanted to 
upgrade to Woody immediately rather than wait any longer. I've read 
available documentation from debian.org but I just have one nagging 
doubt - it just seems a little too easy.
As I understand it, all I have to do is change my apt/sources.list to 
make all the sources point to unstable. eg:
was: ftp.uwa.edu.au stable/main Release
becomes: ftp.uwa.edu.au unstable/main Release

Then it's just "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get dist-upgrade". Then 
go make a cup of coffee.
Is that it? It seems just a little to simple to be believed. Or perhaps 
I've misunderstood something?

Thanks,

Sol
