Mike, Slavek, Tim,
I am doing testing on upgrading from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0 on a default
Wheezy installation. Using the "installation" instructions on the wiki
page fails, so we will probably need to update those pages and
differentiate between "new install" and "upgrade".
Given the slowness of package transfer (I am using the official
packages, not my own build, to avoid any possible mistake), I am still
testing various ways. I will update again later on.

Cheers
  Michele
