Yes, but the discussion in #1035401 and the corresponding MR shows that this has limits as well. IMO, an upgrade between releases should happen with as few layers of software involved as possible. Local tty login or serial console is ideal. This is, of course, not always feasible. noah 1. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035401 2. https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/213
