Tom, can you back this by *evidence*?
That said, I *never* ever had a *failed* Debian upgrade. Just upgraded my
server VM from Squeeze to Wheezy. In about an hour. Only thing that broke
was ContentNegotiation with Apache, still want to write a bug report about
it, cause its easily fixable when one knows where to look.
Reading release notes is a good idea of course.
About config changes in software? This you will always have.
Upgradeability is one of the main reasons I use Debian for.
At work unless we want to have a clean start for a customer or an own
machine we also only upgrade.
