As a former Debian user I concur with your opinion Will.  But Debian
dist upgrades have always caused problems.

For those who want to stick with Debian based distributions I suggest
that you do the following.

1.  Keep a changelog file in your home directory on any custom changes
you have made to any /etc files.

2.  Have a backup of /etc and /home as a minimum.

3.  With Distribution upgrades I have found through experience that it
is best to do a fresh install.

4.  I realize that this is a pain, but always consider the
ramifications of what a distribution upgrade will do.
