Less and less with each version.
I have a wheezy: I cloned it to a spare desktop machine, upgraded with
some significant difficulty to jessie, tried the next step to stretch
and abandoned it. I believe there will be less work in a new install,
which I'm now probably about a week into, with another week to go.
Back in the days of etch, it was an hour or two. Not any more.
