I believe that it is probably a good idea to dist-upgrade Jessie into an
up-to-date state before starting the upgrade to Stretch, but it is
certainly a good idea to do the intermediate steps of upgrading Squeeze
to Wheezy first and then to Jessie before starting the upgrade to Stretch;
with a direct upgrade Squeeze -> Stretch it is very likely (if not
dead-sure) that you won't get far.
