Yeah, and that IMHO is exactly the problem. Debian used to be known for relatively trouble free upgrades. For the Woody-Sarge upgrade the upgrade problems (the kernel issues at least) were mostly limited to non-mainstream architectures, but now we're likely to hit 80% of Sarge desktop users. BTW, here's a first example... http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/08/msg01149.html (the poster works for Intel)
