Unfortunately, I think that already isn't supported. If I'm not very much mistaken, there are several things which simply will not work without an intermediate upgrade to 3.0r2 -- or, indeed, in some cases, the not-yet-released 3.0r3. Most notably, support for real i386 machines. I believe support for MIPS has a similar problem. (These are due to interactions between the kernel and libc, such that a newer kernel than is present in 3.0r0 is required in order to upgrade libc successfully. I believe that in the case of i386, the newer kernels are not yet present in woody, only in woody-proposed-updates.) So I think it's sufficient to document all cases where this is required in the release notes for 3.1.
