That's good to know. I enabled extras-devel last night, and updated to KP52, but I immediately went back to -cssu3.

Each of the things you have mentioned have there own wiki page.
So it's a good idea to have a look through each page before installing them. AFAIK most of the issues you found are covered in there own wiki somewhere.
I concur with that. My intent for this post is to consolidate the process into one place, rather than having to go find a bunch of disparate wiki pages or multi-hundred-page discussions on talk.m.o. Ideally, I'd like to go back and add a bunch of links...

I would disable extras-testing and extras-devel, then only enable extras-devel to download "foo" package and disable it after. This will speed HAM up during updates and stop it pushing unwanted update notices.
Actually, I personally, am running the middle ground. I have extras-testing enabled, but disabled extras-devel. But I've always lived dangerously, and run the majority of my machines on Debian/sid. Aside from the slower HAM, I might have left extras-devel enabled, because I have noticed simple things, like less, are only in extras-devel.

Speaking of command line tools, is (and why is, if applicable) busybox enhanced better than the -gnu packages (e.g. diffutils, findutils, sed, grep, awk, etc.)? And if I were to choose to install the -gnu packages, will they install cleanly over their busybox equivalents without breaking the remaining parts of busybox? I want to say I tried this with the N810 years ago, and that it was less than successful...but I don't remember the details. And that was probably a much earlier version of the tools and busybox.

Also it's best to leave Nokia SSU enabled however you can remove Ovi if you like.

Lastly without ogg-support, you wont get ogg
I have ogg-support installed, but still, I can't see my ogg-vorbis albums in mediaplayer. I'm thinking about uninstalling ogg-support in favor of multimedia-pack.

If you are really worried about reinstalling it, do a full backup using the default backup and backupmenu to a uSD; then install.
Done and done. I may set up a cron job to do backups of rootfs and optfs, so that it is backed up automatically.

Thanks for your comments, sixwheeledbeast.
