Initial Comment:
libpostgis1-pg74 : 1.0.0-1
This package depends on postgresql (>= 7.4.0), postgresql-contrib (>= 7.4.0) and conflicts with postgresql (>> 7.4.99) which actually is a workaround to say not postgresql 8.0.
However, postgresql version 7.4 is not provided by the postgresql package (which provides a dummy transitional 7.5.4 pkg) but by postgresql-7.4 (and postgresql-contrib-7.4).
The package has to be updated to set deps on postgresql-7.4 package (works fine) before we move to postgis for postgresql 8.0.

qgis-plugin-grass : 0.6.99+0.7.0pre1-0.debian.unstable.1-1
depends on libgdal1-grass (>= 1.2.6-0) which is not available on debian GIS nor debian unstable. I compiled it with the new libs and so I could install the plugin.
However, this requires to install libgrass which overwrites some of the libgrass0 pkg. This is one more time because the deps of libgdal1-grass contains libgrass (unstable branch) and not libgrass0 (debianGIS branch).
Dependency hell, isn't it :)

However, after some package building, I everything back in order :)

Thanks for the good work.

I've uploaded libgdal1-grass to debianGIS and this should be
fixed as far as qgis-plugin-grass is concerned. You
shouldn't have to do anything special in
/etc/apt/preferences. The latest version should always have
the higher version number regardless of which archive it's
in. The libgrass0 thing was a screw-up that shouldn't happen
again.

To use grass tools you need to start qgis from the grass>
prompt.

That makes /etc/apt/preferences pretty hard to manage :)
However with grass/libgrass from unstable, libgdal1-grass hand-compiled, qgis-plugin-grass doesn'twork really well. 
this message is printed to stdout while loading qgis : 
Loaded /usr/lib/qgis/grassplugin.so
QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments
        QSignal::signal(const QVariant&) --> QgsGrassPlugin::switchRegion(bool)
Loaded /usr/lib/qgis/grassprovider.so

Then importing layers works but loading tools fails.

Oops. I had intended libgdal1-grass to be in the main
archive at this point, but it got rejected from the NEW
queue pending the C++ ABI transition. I'll upload that to
debianGIS when I get back home Friday. libgrass from the
main debian archive is the most up-to-date version.
libgrass0 from debianGIS is superceded by it, although
upgrading may require manual removal of libgrass0.
