Which is why there are so many derivatives.

Debian is a good distro, but for some users it has got weak spots, that's why other distros try to get rid of those drawbacks. No doubt about it, those distros than will ship with other drawbacks.

So a hint to the OP:

Are you aware about the packages that are important for you?
Have you ever read changelogs?
Is it at all needed to do anything else, than security updates?

Fortunately the switch between Ubuntu and Debian isn't a drastic step, as long as differences between upstart and init are unimportant. To funny, since FFmpeg was a thread on another list, but issues like this are the same for both distros.

FWIW, before updating what distro ever, it can't harm to backup the stable environment.

Ralf
