As usual during upgrade I got those messages "you changed this config file, do you want to keep it or use the maintainers version", then I normally select "keep" every time (the default) and afterwards I do a "find / -name '*.dpkg-*'" to find all the new config files, review the diffs, and modify the new version with the same changes I made to the previous one. (in this case to remove the pool servers and add my own)
So it was basically running with default config, except that I added two of my own servers and removed the pool servers. I do it this way to avoid situations where new default files are better and/or required with new packages, and I do not want to keep my old config all the time.
