Yeah, well, bad luck. Of my ~15 Ubuntu upgrades, none left the machine
unbootable, and IIRC 1 or 2 left them without X. I also doubt that the
method of upgrading, if done right, has any effect on this - after all,
your new kernel doesn't boot, and it doesn't matter how it got there.

I was talking about the thousands of cases that _would make machines
unbootable if the Ubuntu target users were forced to upgrade the Debian
way. Do you not see the questions that are asked on this very list?
