I finally did the upgrade of an existing system at July 24th. It all went well, be biggest issues I probably catched through dependencies of third party packages. So going through the detailed upgrade log is probably not worth (but I can share a script log of the upgrade if anybody is interested in that). I did a bugreport agains the 'release-notes' pseudopackage with all the details: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=592947 Here are some aspects which I think are worthwhile to be mentioned in the release notes: * sysv-rc: dependency based boot process This is a major change and everybody is affected. I think it would be good to tell the users in the realease notes about it and describe how the upgrade process works. * grub2: chainloading/update-from-grub-legacy This is also a major change and everybody is affected. Worked for me although I had a minor isseue: I could not remember if my system is booting by default from /dev/sda or /dev/sdb and I selected the wrong one. So I had to do some bios changes to get the system booted again. It would have helped me if the release notes would have told how to find out which is the current device which the system boots from. * Udev 151-2 upgrade problem http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571255 This one almost broke my system. Although I followed #15 in the bugreport, the upgrade of the kernel upgrade and udev upgrade did not work, only udev was upgraded (not sure why). The real bad thing was, that I did not notice that something went wrong. I was lucky that I decided not to reboot right away, but to continue the upgrade and found later the the linux-image did not upgrade. Here a test if the upgrade worked would have been extremely helpful.
