There are many, many more than one or two.  For the most part, uploads to
unstable have not stopped, while almost no new updates have been made to
woody in the past week.  A fairly modest woody install, when pointed at
unstable, shows:

  apache apache-common apt-listchanges ash base-config base-files binutils
