I have no Debian background but there are *lots* of docs around recommending dist-upgrade on Ubuntu. In fact, following those guides is how I did my upgrades from 4.10->5.04->5.10. Not always cleanly. A couple of examples: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HoaryUpgradeNotes We seem to be on about the third or fourth iteration on the "correct" way to do an upgrade.
