I've upgraded Debian systems a number of times without issues. Although 
I haven't done this specific update, I chose to replace most of my older 
systems for other reasons.

I've seen a number of people on the debian-devel mailing list who say 
they have systems which were originally installed with truly ancient 
versions and have been incrementally upgraded to the latest release.
