Hi Fletch,
The manual upgrade process should preserve the Debathena metapackages, as third-party repositories no longer get disabled on upgrades. Note that if you use Ubuntu's release upgrade process (as opposed to re-installing), you will need to upgrade to Karmic (9.10) and then to Lucid. It is not possible to go directly from Jaunty to Lucid without re-installing.
During the upgrade you may get prompted to accept new configuration files. Answering "yes" is generally the right answer unless you have modified files by hand.
