All apt sources have always been set to "Wheezy" since I installed it
months ago.
I never use the "Stable" name any more. Learned my lesson a
few years ago when I upgraded an install of Etch--sources set to
"Stable"--not realizing that Lenny had just become the new "Stable". I
ended up with a hybrid system, a mix of Etch and Lenny. Amazingly, it
still worked. And still does. However, I never 'apt-get upgraded' again
for fear of trashing it.

It isn't.
Nope. Not needed. Wheezy (while still Testing) was a clean install on
my personal desktop system replacing Fedora 12 which was showing its age
and exhibiting some problems.
All that's required now is to cease using 'dist-upgrade' for upgrading.
Dist-upgrade was recommended in the user install manual while Wheezy
was still Testing. Now, that it's Stable, 'upgrade' is the recommended
method.
