I think - if possible for developpers -, that a "restore point" could be a
great step forward.
When I make an : aptitude safe-upgrade, never I will now if I will have same problems or
now. If iIhave troubles, I c'ant "revenir en arriere", (come back).
This book explains principles and techniques for data and system backup
and recovery:

One approach would be to take images of your system drive (using a live
CD, zerofree, dd, gzip, etc.) prior to updates.
I've been using Norton Ghost 2003 for many years for Wintel machines.
Be sure to get the 2003 version because it has key features not found in
later versions (such as the creation of bootable floppy disks with Ghost):

An ongoing challenge with Ghost 2003 is getting the updates, as it uses
their LiveUpdate system and is no longer supported OOTB. Symantec used
to have a solution here, but the page is now missing. I have initiated
a technical support request:
