I had the same problem. As soon as the upgrade reached the configuration of rarian-compat it stopped with an error. All further errors were because of dependencies to scrollkeeper, which is provided by rarian-compat.
As others I installed scrollkeeper, finished the dist-upgrade and then installed ubuntu-desktop (thus removing scrollkeeper and reinstalling rarian-compat).
I had this problem with a clean install of hardy and another computer which had the netbook-remix repo enabled. I read through the logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade but the only information I could get from them was that it stopped at rarian-compat.
