I will sometimes try an update on a VM to see how it goes - virtualbox is free and works great for setting up a quick test environment. However, I have gone through so many broken / bad upgrades that I am quite used to quickly popping in a live CD, reinstalling grub and then adding in any missing modules. Those are pretty much the most common issues.
