No. You can transition without planning :-)

awesome... I hate to decrease SNR on LWN, but this was a fantastic one-liner :)

From experience, I don't recommend it though :-). There's another one-liner that goes 'Ubuntu is African for "person who cannot configure debian'. You have to plan on a spending some time up-front on configuration.
E.g. on Ubuntu, setting automatic updates works out of the box. On Debian, "anacron" isn't part of the default desktop task (only the laptop one). If you turn your computer off to save your electricity bill, it won't pick up the updates at midnight or whenever they are scheduled for. You need "anacron" to catch up on the scheduled task(s) which you "missed" while the computer was turned off.
