That's why we love Debian, apt and its children I use aptitude from choice. I am lazy!

Especially with a fresh installation. Any problems that arise are usually due to our falling into traps and installing non-Debian versions and stuff. I don't have much that isn't Debian. I just uninstall e.g. Google-Chrome, upgrade, reinstall Google-Chrome. Of course, if I were a true believer I would still be using chromium anyway and would not have to uninstall anything.
