Bug#1016832: release-notes: Chapter 4 Upgrading commands are spread out over 20 pages
Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist
Debian Documention Team,
Chapter 4. "Upgrades from Debian 10 (buster)" has commands spread out
over 20 pages. I think many (most?) admins would enjoy a quick checklist
or summary.
How about a section like the one below at the end of the Chapter?
Thank you!

Basic System Quick Upgrade
For a basic system:
* Latest stable point release
* Debian packages only
* No APT pinning
* Sufficient disk space (1 GB free for /var)
the following upgrade procedures should work.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian &releasename; main [contrib] [non-free]
deb http://security.debian.org &releasename;-security main [contrib] [non-free]
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian &releasename;-updates main [contrib] [non-free]
# apt update
# apt autoclean
# apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs 2>&1 | tee &releasename;1.log
# apt full-upgrade 2>&1 | tee &releasename;2.log
# apt autopurge
# reboot
Review and clean up:
# find /etc -name '*.dpkg-*' -o -name '*.ucf-*' -o -name '*.merge-error'
