CONFIRM: Yesterday evening I just did 
`apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get moo`
which took a while, but mostly just worked ;-)

I also ran dselect through `update, select, install, configure, remove` menus
to make sure that apt-* and dpkg-* are in sync.
(This might be habit -  I've been doing it since Bo/Rexx and it just seems to work ;-)

It seemed to clean up any rough edges that might have been accumulated over the
months ;-)

This was on a
cpu family      : PA-RISC 1.1d
cpu             : PA7100LC (PCX-L)
cpu MHz         : 100.000000
model           : 9000/715
model name      : Mirage 100


Next move is to see if I can compile & boot from kernel-source-2.4.16-hppa.tar.bz2
natively.

Outstanding work, people; Thank You all.
