Usually I set the /etc/apt/sources.list to the proper codename for the
release I'm on today, and wait a little bit after release.  Any
upgrade glitches are then cleared up by those who feel they have to
upgrade on day one, and packages are updated.  Also you typically want
to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" after switching to the next codename, in
case there are packages that need that particular sort of upgrade.
