Hello Sam, sorry for the trouble you experienced during the upgrade. I agree with you that the lack of documentation is a problem. However I would like to point out that we use the same underlaying technology /apt/dpkg) as debian to perform the upgrade. A kernel oops in the middle of the upgrade (when udev/X/dbus are in not well definied states) is something that a debian system would not take lightly as well.

There is a option in the "Recovery" boot menu called "dpkg - Repair broken packages" that should be able to help. Please let me know if that helps with the problem.
