My upgrades have been painless, except for apt uninstalling my
telnet/telnetd packages.  It's dselect that bit me... I somehow convinced
it that I'd marked *everything* to be uninstalled.  I thought I hadn't
changed anything, exited, and it began uninstalling my core apps without a

even figure out how to mark everything for uninstall in one swoop if I
wanted to.
