I am thinking, from release notes and comments, 'apt-get upgrade' first , to
safely upgrade all packages that don't require new depends or deletions. Install
the new kernel, reboot, then you can use aptitude or apt-get to finish.
It seems dl the non-free firmware package and having it available would be a good
practice to get into for upgrades, (esp laptops) at least being aware that
firware policy has changed for Squeeze.
