I'm not certain that it's debian's fault. I may have reported a few months
ago that I "accidentally" installed debian jesse, because I put unstable
depots in my sources.list and did a 'apt-get upgrade'.  It appeared that
jesse was installed for like a day.  It appeared to work just fine, but now
my system still shows wheezy.  I think my whole system is borked and I'm
looking to flush it and reinstall.
