Personally, I have a checklist file where I write down all the stuff
about what I've installed (that I know I want to keep anyway) and how
I've tweaked configurations. When a new release comes along I follow
the checklist and dig up config files I've changed from my backup
copies (modifying things as appropriate for any changes in the way
things work).

I also usually install in a new partition so I can multi-boot the
old and new for a while in case something goes drastically wrong
with the new.
