But, as pointed by somebody else, it's not possible to switch all the
machines one administers overnight. Stop using them now would mean no
security until sarge+bpo machines are upgraded to etch.
So afaics users essentially have to chose between hasty upgrades, lack
of security, or lack of clean upgrade path.
