su -  # become root
pump # get a damn IP address
dpkg-hold esound #until debian fixes there problem with no control file for esound-common 0.2.36-1
dpkg-hold esound-common
dpkg-hold libesd0
dpkg-hold libesd0-dev

dpkg-reconfigure locales # remove unused locales
nano /etc/apt/sources.list # replace ftp.de.debian.org with a local debian mirror
aptitude update; aptitude upgrade # update packages
 

When encountering errors about no control files:

extract the offending package to root and then rerun... i.e.
dpkg -x  /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.8.2.dfsg.1-6_all.deb / ; aptitude upgrade
