Now #Debian upgrades I'm not afraid of. Those go smooth far more often than not. (Though... lenny? Jeez, that's ancient!)
It's just that I'm running stuff like postgres 9.6, and the last time I tried upgrading (dumpall -> upgrade -> restore), everything broke, error messages were completely unhelpful, and I ran out of time. So I'm back at 9.6, and feel a little bad about that.
I have two kinds of pg upgrade: for small db I just let `pg_upgradecluster` to do it and so far no trouble. For big ones I use `pg_upgrade ... --link ...` and have backups ready [no trouble so far 9->13]. 😛

Guess I'll try again a year or two from now. :P
