Then a little history on this laptop: Started life as a triple-boot yellowdog linux, ubuntu Hoary and macosx 10.3.9. Upgraded Hoary to Dapper by hand-editing /etc/apt/sources.list Upgraded to Edgy the same way. The transition failed (hplip problems) and thus I went throught two or three steps of sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then I removed ubuntu-desktop to be able to uninstall some apps like evolution without being reinstalled every time I dist-upgrade.
Which brings me to today. My root and home partitions are separate, and the former yellow dog root partition is being used as plain file storage nowadays (ubuntu does a much better job, YDL is for servers and desktops and it shows). I have a FreeBSD to which I regularly rsync my home partition, so that's no problem. I will copy my /etc folder to save the configurations I have in there, and I will reinstall edgy from a CD. Then I'll test and report. Will happen this weekend.
