Re: What patches/packages to install for specific bugs.
The kernel package versions can be difficult to sort out, but anything
more recent than the fix date/version will have the fix. It is usually
applied to the current kernel version across all supported releases,
although testing and unstable can lag behind.
What I do is pretty common, aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade.
When doing an in-release upgrade it's usually not necessary to do
"upgrade" first, then "full-upgrade" (equivalent to dist-upgrade).
