+1.
I never reinstall. I maintain my systemd in a way that I do not think I need
it.
Well for 64-bit I did a reinstall. But on server I think about cross-upgrading
with multi-arch. I didn´t yet see an official or not official guide on how to do
it, but I just don´t like to reinstall my server VM for 64 bit. Anyway its not
even needed there at the moment, so as long as Debian provides 32-bit x86 and
the server VM only has 512 MiB of RAM.
