You want do-release-upgrade. And I've never had a problem with dist-upgrade. http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2010/02/dist-upgra...

True, mea culpa. I meant to talk about do-release-upgrade. It's been so long I'm a little confused with the terminology :)

Seamless release upgrade is crucial if you want to have a high frequency (6 month) release cycle. Glad to see they made progress with this.
