Jessie has been released for a while and we didn't receive any bug
reports related to upgrade problems.

In you initial bug report you wrote that this would complicate upgrades.
Apparently this didn't really happen, so I guess this bug can be closed
now. Or do you still see value in keeping this bug report open (and if
so, why).

Michael
