+1 for a smooth system migration without the needing of reinstalling "a 
byte" :-)

I also had to achieve that task with another linux system (not Debian). 
That time I switched to a 100% completely new machine (motherboard, cpu, 
ram, hard disk...) and used Clonezilla LiveCD.

After restarting the new cloned system, I only had to tweak GRUB to point 
to the right devices (because it used a "/dev/disk/by-id" setup). Plain 
easy.
