Yes. No jest, you really did just upgrade from one distribution of
Debian to another.
When Etch is "released" for real, there will be detailed instructions
for those problems which the release team has discovered, if any.
I remember reading this little quip many years ago: Debian's installer
is so bad because Debian users just don't care. You only have to use
it once.
Now you know why Debian users tend to stay Debian users.
All that said, after several cycles of dist-upgrades, there really
does come a time when it's a good idea to do a wipe/install. The last
time I did that was after my server had been running for 8 years, and
the network files were pretty crufty. :^)
With a desktop system, every few years there seems to be a reason to
reinstall, so far mostly due to buying new laptops, disks, and/or the
incompetence of hardware service people who "help" me by putting
Windows XP back on the system while they have it helpless in their
clutches.
