No, no reinstall should be required - for me, one of the great things
about Debian is that it supports in-place upgrades on running systems
(you don't have to boot an installer or anything). Just pointing apt or
dselect at a source of potato packages and upgrading should DTRT.
I don't think there's any major breakage in potato right now.
