I have never had a failed dist-upgrade. Of course, you gotta follow the

This wipe business strikes me as vaguely scatological. Clean and
cruftless and wiped (and do they wash their hands fifty times a day

I'm not a good Debian owner. I download and install 3rd party software.
I modify system configuration files. I'm too lazy to identify and
