Ok.. my experience was in the 7.04 and 7.10 time frame, didn't see a reason to repeat the experiment (was fairly painful at the time, a dozen or so iterations of apt-get dist-upgrade, then an apt-get install of one or two specific packages that it was refusing to upgrade, then try again, it would get further, rinse, lather, repeat, it eventually worked.)
