We're looking at upgrading our database hosts running postgres 9.2 from
debian 6/squeeze to debian 7/wheezy. It seems to me that using apt to
upgrade in-place would be less work than wiping the boxes and reinstalling
debian 7 from scratch, but the latter way would be cleaner.

Does anybody have any experience with upgrading in-place? Are there any
recommendations for one or the other?
