I guess the problem is not upgrading a completely standard version, but
a version, that has been used by a real person, and there are some extra
packages added, maybe also some PPAs. Or a version that was upgraded
before. (My present production environment, now 12.04.2, started as 8.04.)

If testing in such situations can be done in some [more] automatic way
than now, that's good, but it will probably be hard to make it work.

Best regards
