Yes, I have upgraded my desktop machine.  Actually I was still running a 
Lenny, Squeeze and Wheezy hybrid, meaning I had packages from all three 
releases.  They are now all updated to Jessie or testing.

No, everything works fine.  I should say here that I'm still using kernel 
2.6.32 though.  I purposely didn't upgrade my kernel because I didn't want 
to lose hardware speech.  If you keep an old kernel, put a hold on the udev 
package and don't switch to systemd.
