I am a Debian user, not a Debian tester or a Debian developer.


I prefer Debian Stable because I want my computers to work reliably.  I 
typically delay major version upgrades for 6+ months, to allow Stable to 
stabilize.  I skipped Jesse entirely, and only recently upgraded to Stretch.


There are two schools of thought for Debian major version upgrades:

1.  Do an in-place upgrade.

2.  Do a fresh install and migrate.


Years ago, I tried the former.  Invariably, I ran into problems I could 
not trouble-shoot and ended up with systems that I had no confidence in. 
  Yours is just another in an unending stream of posts demonstrating 
that my experience was not unique, and still persists.  I can only 
conclude that an in-place upgrade of something as complex as a real, 
working, and productive Debian system is an exercise in futility.


So, now I do the latter.  This is facilitated by, and integrated into, 
my backup/ restore, archive, and imaging processes.  I have confidence 
in the results.
