Sorry to be replying to myself.
Of course, this will also need module-assistant style (and any other)
out-of-tree modules to be rebuilt; I can't remember whether there's ever
been a kernel ABI bump in a stable release before, but IMO this update
certainly warrants something other than the standard boilerplate in the
advisory.
Or, to put it another way, dist-upgrade (as indicated above) isn't
"safe" and so shouldn't be recommended without further qualification.
Cheers,
Dominic.
