Be careful, when there is a major upgrade from one stable to the next
one, the upgrade path might be more complicated (eg. from lenny to
squeeze, you had to upgrade in two steps due to the changes in udev).
If you want to keep a stable version, you'd be better to get the distrib
name in the sources.list, studying the upgradepath when a new stable
distrib is released, and doing this upgrade when and how fits best for
you (this might imply some service interrupt, which you would not want
to happen at the wrong time).
