There is no standard way. Fresh reinstall is perhaps the closest to "standard".
If you have time to spare, change your sources.list to point to Debian repositories, run apt-get and see what mess you end up in... I did a
reverse---Debian to Ubuntu---upgrade once and it took much longer to clean up things, than a fresh install and config.
If your new computer works fine with Ubuntu, I would save the output of lspci, lsmod and a .tgz of /etc, just in case you'll need a hint while
trying to make some component to work in Debian.
