I'm not sure if this has actually been recommended for the last few
releases, and for Stretch it is almost certainly a bad idea.

Probably yes, because of the libstdc++6 transition[1,2] that required
changing the package name of many C++ libraries and an unusually high

Your best bet is probably to just try "apt-get dist-upgrade" and if that
does not work, file a bug against the upgrade-reports pseudopackage.
