I've used the same method to upgrade a Refracta (ascii) install, and it
worked well. This is with xfce and desktop apps installed without
metapackages.

If you try to upgrade a desktop system that was installed from tasksel
(with task-<desktop-environment>-desktop), you'll probably run into
dependency conflicts.

One other way to get there is to make a beowulf live-iso with live-sdk. I
haven't tried it in a few months, but it worked fine when I did it.
Results of that are here (no-X):

and here (openbox, no dbus):
