Avoiding packages with really big dependency chains, reading changelogs ( at least if I can download them, but sometimes it is impossible ), being VERY wary when upgrading one of: initscripts, initramfs, dash, and upgrading as often as possible ( this eases possibles transitions lowering possible breakdowns of system ).
IMHO apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges are something that everyone should have installed
I don't check Debian Weather, and I don't see a reason why should I do dist-upgrade, after all I'm running sid constantly
