Another helpful thing I have found to do is to install apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges, which screen the packages as they are upgraded, showing bug reports on known bugs and the change.log files, and giving you an option to bail out of an upgrade before proceeding. Of course not all bugs are known, but at least those that are can be used to guide the upgrade process or limit its risk. -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (69% of Full) But you can still get downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh
