- Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade?  If
  so, what were they?
        
No

- Was the system pre-update a pure stretch system? 

Yes

- Did any packages fail to upgrade?

No

- Were there any problems with the system after upgrading?

Yes, see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=953365

BTW this was solvable without much effort.


Further Comments/Problems:

This system has something like 25 GB of PostgreSQL databases,
which is not so big by current standards. pg_upgradecluster took
few hours to upgrade them to the buster version of PostgreSQL,
which caused some unanticipated downtime. Probably it's time to
consider some more efficient approach for PostgreSQL upgrades.
PostgreSQL itself already include some faster tools but I think
that keeping a distribution specific procedure, using the native
PostgreSQL tools if needed, is a good thing.

Apart from this few minor problems and the fixing some
configuration files for some newer packages the upgrade was
quite smooth and as expected.
