Yeah, it's different. Currently, I have:
<![ %not-sparc [
<![ %not-alpha [
<![ %not-powerpc [
<![ %not-arm [
<p>The upgrade procedures described below can be used to upgrade any
previous Debian release to 2.2 at once; you should not have to upgrade
separately to every intermediate release. Note however, that upgrades
from releases 2.0 and earlier to 2.2 have not been tested extensively,
and are therefore not supported.
