Well, it was not that hard ;-) After fixing inst-sys (since otherwise it is 
not possible to use the update proposal and if there was a dependency 
conflict, it was not possible to continue - known already fixed bug) the 
upgrade went smoothly. The fun came afterwards
- all users from /etc/passwd were lost
- some packages (eg. pam_mount) were missing (had to take them from factory 
and then had really fun with my encrypted home)
- networkmanager doesn't work for me (dhcpcd is my friend :-) )
- /etc/init.d/kbd manages to freeze boot (I removed it from init scripts)

anyway, as you see, I can work again :-)
