That's still my intent, yes, primarily to avoid people who have this
set up in wheezy already (#751707 has at least two reporters) upgrade
and find their swap partition gone and boot stuck.

That's possible as well, of course. In this case you should revert to
sysvinit (or upstart) straight after upgrading, *before* you reboot
(after it's too late).

I documented the manual upgrade fix on the LP bug a while ago:
https://launchpad.net/bugs/953875 (in the description). Maybe some
bits could also be stolen from there.

Thanks,

Martin
