Well, it is a nice summary. (Since Debian Reference is GPL since I had contents inherited this way. GPL is incompatible with GFDL. I know NewbieDOC wiki does not have invariant section but this incompatibility prevents me to include this article as is.) Can yo at least say in that page the contents are dual licensed: GPL 2.0 and GFDL 1.2. For now, I can still quote from the original posts so it is not so bad. If you find any reasoable experience of mass upgrading from sarge to etch without removing dependency mess such as gnome, kde, tetex, ... please let us know to http://bugs.debian.org/401317 With issues http://bugs.debian.org/391377 ,even new aptitude has issue with Conflicts/Replaces/Provides. So mass upgrade is problematic unless you are very good at aptitude manual works. So I recommend to remove big dependency rich set of packages first unfortunately for upgrade.
