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.
