Although I benefit from the developments in multimedia

opportunities for failure.
A strategy I've used in past is to *not* upgrade until I
need something. Maybe could call it it "choose your own
freeze".
I usually just upgrade what I want when I want.
I do it the other way round, I put on hold what I didn't want to
upgrade, and upgrade the rest.
I never do a backup, and in the last 10 Years I didn't ever need one. ;-)
Good thing your hard drive hasn't failed on you, then. ;-)
I usually do apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade and read the
output, that gives me enough information if I need to put packages on
hold, or if I could safely just run the full upgrade.
I just look at what's marked upgradeable in Synaptic.
If a package is broken after upgrade, I just downgrade it to the one
from testing.
So how does one downgrade? That I haven't figured out.
