Makes sense.  However, the question started about doing
upgrades & not new installs.  It was advised to get to Bullseye
(which will essentially take samba backwards in version) and then 
upgrade using the backports.

I'm presuming I just use 'apt-get upgrade' with the package list
above (from the Debian install page on the wiki) and that gets me
to the correct point without over-writing anything important?

I'm looking to upgrade active servers and just don't want anything
going wrong via Murphy's law.
