I'd try this:

- evaluate "Utilities breakDependents" in a Workspace.
- Remove all of the "Packages-..." system categories.
- Bring in the new DVS.

You may also need to fix up subclasses of PackageInfo you have around.

Unfortunately, you've run into a bootstrapping problem - DVS lets you
cleanly upgrade other packages, but it has trouble cleanly upgrading
itself :).
