Embarrassingly, I missed that bit, but it’s certainly something I will pay attention to
next upgrade time.
The majority of my problems appear to have come from things like deprecated options in
various package config files that, rather than being nicely ignored in new versions, cause
stuff to grind to a screeching halt, or packages not being correctly installed that would
be required for new ways of doing various things. Unfortunately, the documentation and
forum posts I found on most of the issues I fixed weren’t very good at giving specific
pointers, so I’m grateful for the help I got here.

seemed really straightforward.
Did you use script to record what happened, as recommended in the Debian
upgrade instructions?
It is really useful when something goes wrong because you can look back
and go 'Oh, yes, it did say that it was going to uninstall mysql-server...'
