OMG, I've been aspersed! ;-)
Actually, I probably don't need to reinstall on upgrades. I've been
using Debian for 20 years or so, and I've found there are sometimes
problems with upgrades. More importantly, over time I accumulate
packages which I don't need and which become cruft. Reinstalling zeroes
everything back to only the packages I really want, and I can guarantee
that things are now "clean".
