Well, it is a nice summary.  

(Since Debian Reference is GPL since I had contents inherited this way.
GPL is incompatible with GFDL.  I know NewbieDOC wiki  does not have
invariant section but this incompatibility prevents me to include this
article as is.)

Can yo at least say in that page the contents are dual licensed: GPL
2.0 and GFDL 1.2.

For now, I can still quote from the original posts so it is not so bad.

If you find any reasoable experience of mass upgrading from sarge to
etch without removing dependency mess such as gnome, kde, tetex,
... please let us know to http://bugs.debian.org/401317

With issues http://bugs.debian.org/391377 ,even new aptitude has issue
with Conflicts/Replaces/Provides.  So mass upgrade is problematic unless
you are very good at aptitude manual works.  So I recommend to remove
big dependency rich set of packages first unfortunately for upgrade.
