No I can't confirm that it will work. That may be sufficient but there
might be other dependencies I have missed, some will be upgrade
automatically but there is a small class ( those packages pegged from
git and svn repos ) that won't upgrade automatically. The only thing I
can confirm is that I have used this technique on one of the testing
phones and the phone seemed to work correctly.

The only way to guarantee that all of the dependencies are properly
upgraded is to flash the image.

If qi was working with release 2 it doesn't need to be changed and the
kernel is the same as release 2.
