more than loudly :P it doesnt suck, everything is documented and the job
of the sysadmin is to read the docs :) we have lots of complex setup and
cannot and will not make automatic detection.

everything is documented but i agree, a Readme.debian was missing,
smooth upgrade from 1.0.8 to 1.0.19 is possible if you follow releases
notes but keep in mind that is a jump of 22 releases and so extra care
is needed.

we will add a Readme.Debian pointing where to got for upgrade
instructions, a UPGRADE file is inside the debian package in the
/usr/share/doc/fusiondirectory/docs/UPGRADE.gz
