By the way, why do you _need_ to upgrade Bacula?
I'm backing a dozen of servers some of which stuck to Bacula 5.0.2 (and
even older), with the master server (which hosts the director and SD)
still running Wheezy.  I have no issues with this setup.  The servers
being backed up are Windows and Debian machines.
