There is normally no reason why a Debian system should ever need to be reinstalled.
I would like to upgrade, without reinstalling, from Wheezy to Jessie and 3.5.13.2 to 3.5.14. Would I be better to upgrade TDE and let it settle, then upgrade Debian, or the other way round? Or ought I to wait? That is a tempting possibility given that I love what I have got!
My experience, I initially regreted upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy...everthing just worked. I tell myself there has to be a compelling reason to upgrade and since I mange my main apps outside of the Debian repo's, it should of simplifed the decison, it never does. TDE apps and Apache Openoffice are the main stays of my business.. they do not require OS changes. I use Iceweasel and the Debian Mozilla team maintains this app.
No comment on aptitude, I don't normally use it.
I use what the release notes recommend for an upgrade, but am still using aptitude for every day. An old dog can learn new tricks - but may still be more comfortable with the old ones. ;-)

I noticed 3.5.14 is available for Squeeze, Wheezy and Jessie.
