Hello,

I think it is bad choice to deliberately have different behavior for
freshly installed and upgraded systems. Offering upgrades has always
been one of the major selling points of Debian, and imho this
implicitely includes that you do not get a worse or second class Debian
installation when you upgrade it than if you installed from scratch.

I'll kindly disagree here. I'd rather not have to go back to every system and make sure that they all behave the way I want after doing a periodic, completely boring "apt-get upgrade".
