I meant after. I for some/most systems nothing needs to be done, we

No btrfs here. Things are on ext4. Should we mention ext4 is fine as 
it's the default in Debian IIRC. (Is it always?)

Both / and swap are working. Should we advice this for people that 
stumble over these notes after they upgraded and want to be sure?
