In a situation like this, I would create new DCs and then demote and
remove the old ones.

The Unix domain members could be treated in the same way, but I suppose
you will want to retain the original hostnames & ipaddresses. Before you
do anything, I would back up any data, permissions and the smb.conf,
that is all you need to recreate a Unix domain member. At this point
you could attempt the dist-upgrade (having removed the backports line),
it should work, but if it doesn't, you have the backup to fall back on
;-)
