In short, to upgrade / update your Debian testing, use this sequence:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

You need to analyze that list, but it's normally legit. Packages change dependencies, so obsolete ones can to be removed. However don't forget purging configs (apt-get autoremove --purge), otherwise your system will be very cluttered with garbage.
And if suggested remove list looks suspicious (like removing whole KDE or something), then analyze the issue further.

Note, that a prefix is different from the package architecture.

Nice script :)
I went with the instructions on the debian page for upgrading from stable to testing
Basically replacing the distro name (stretch in my case) with testing and uncommenting the security patches
I then did update , upgrade and dist-upgrade

Will dig into it , but for now , it seems i have wine working fine.
Can take care of the clutter later and do a purge if needed and reisntall the packages if i accidentally remove them.
