This can also be used as an argument against dist-upgrade: you need to change and adapt the configuration for new versions of packages or risk running into problems.
>From my experience from dist-upgrading many servers the most pain are webservers with PHP. Merging the old with the new apache configuration and checking and evaluating the changes of the PHP configuration always take the most time, if I want to be sure everything works and stays secure. It depends on your overall setup what method is faster. If you can spawn a new (virtual) server automagically in 5 minutes and redeploy your apps (web or other) inlcuding the needed configuration then you will never dist-upgrade but instead just move all data over to a new home and be done.
