I recently did a couple of etch to jessie upgrades by going
etch→squeeze→wheezy→jessie. It wasn't too difficult, you can just
keep going with the cycle of:
1. Alter /etc/apt/sources.list to name the next release
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get dist-upgrade
It tells you when you need to reboot into a newer kernel, otherwise
you can keep going.

When the thing you're upgrading to is no longer on the main mirrors
it becomes a bit more tricky as you have to point to
snapshot.debian.net or archive.debian.org.
