h1. Debian 10 to 11
h2. Pre update check
h3. Stretch check
Check if any sources still point to stretch
<pre>
cd /etc/apt
grep -nr stretch .

If so, bring those up to buster and run updates first

h3. Metapackage check
Check to make sure kernel metapackage is installed, not just specific kernel
@dpkg -l "linux-image*" | grep ^ii | grep -i meta@ should have results
