And what if their system has slightly different hardware or some other 
difference such that your advice doesn't work?  (AFAICT, the fact that Debian 
does not support an upgrade skipping a release means that little or no testing 
has been done and there is an indeterminate amount of risk.)

Will you stand behind the upgrade, and fix his system if there is a problem?  
(Site visits are usually not cheap.)
