The closest thing you can come to shifting is to create a new partition, install (or cdebootstrap) a base system there without selecting any extra packages, copy your /etc and debconf database, dpkg --get-selections on the old system and dpkg --set-selections on the new and then apt-get dselect-upgrade.
