dd works for *absolutely* *identical* systems. Otherwise it's not
recommended.
You can tar across slightly different disk geometries.
My preference is to do a minimal base system installation, then run:
$ dpgk --get-selections > file
...on the old system followed by
$ dpkg --set-selections < file
$ apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
...on the new one.
