There are lots of upgrade tools as others have indicated, which ones
and in what sequence are revealed through thorough testing.
One good point: there may not be a clean upgrade path for TDE 14 since
all the naming changes have happened...I have not upgraded an install
yet. I intend to have a local mirror of R14 which will make clean
installs or upgrades easy and fast.
One comment on clean installs, the home directory stays the same which
includes all the user/application settings and info.

aptitude
safe-upgrade '?version(4:3.5.13)'
if 4:3.5.13 is currently installed version.
Simplest? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Now that's probably not the safest way to do it; can someone else
suggest a safer method for end-users?
This also sounds like something that should be on our Wiki.
Thanks!
