Well, apt-get --purge dist-upgrade will remove old and no longer needed files and directory structures. Unless of course, you've fucked with the package system, ie. creating files in /usr et al. I moved from slink to potato to woody to sid and then switched a couple of times between woody and sid. The system I'm running is some four years old now and I never had to do any reinstall whatsoever. To make a long story short: Debian's apt-get system just rocks.
