   No... :-)
I had a hard time finding info on how to upgrade from hoary to  
breezy. The info I eventually found was that one should change the  
sources.list so that it says breezy where it used to say hoary. (And  
also comment out backports stuff if one uses such.)

Now that I write "apt-get dist-upgrade" I get the following, looks  
scary too since ie. kubuntu-desktop is to be removed, but not really  
installed again or anything. Is it alright?
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
