in German:
Quote1. Sourcen anpassen
2. dpkg -l | grep aptosid um zu schauen, welche aptosid-Pakete installiert sind
3. für die gefundenen Pakete die Pedands von siduction installieren
4. apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/aptosid/{print $2}')
5. aptosid aus den Sourcen schmeissen
6. reboot
das sollte reichen.
Sauberer wäre allerdings eine Neuinstallation.
translation:

1. adjust sources
2. which aptosid packages are installed:
dpkg -l | grep aptosid
3. install the relevant siduction packages for all found aptosid packages
4. delete aptosid packages:
apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/aptosid/{print $2}')
5. delete aptosid sources
6. reboot
should be enough
But a new install would be cleaner
Thanks, I'll try.

As aptosid uses dmakms and siduction uses dkms for auto module installation how does one do the change from dmakms to dkms?
delete dmakms and install the corresponding packages in those cases, where you made use of dmakms. Those can easily be found by doing:apt-cache search <package> and look for the respective foo-dkms package.
In the case of e.g. nvidia this would be nvidia-kernel-dkmsor, in case of old cards, nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms or the like.

Thanks devil
Perhas helpful for someone: The instructions still works fine. When installing the siduction packages before purging the aptosid I forgot to include the tiny little package linux-image-3.6-1.towo-siduction-amd64 that is sometimes used :) After that I had a few exciting minutes when booting the system :) But I managed to have it installed afterwards and I could boot and start kde. I had bigger problems with the nepomuk desktop effects being turned on when I started with the PC hardly running and all the graphics looking weird or not at all. Now I have managed to turn it off and everything works just fine.
Thank's for the excellent migrate instructions.

Good idea to be fully dist-upgraded before making the conversion.
