   Yes, but you should then read the "upgrade" chapter in the debian release   
   notes for the new version - sometimes there are manual steps required (I   
   remember "pick a kernel package and install it", but I am not sure for which   
   version that was). Of course, debian will not list raspbian-specific topics,   
   so these need to be considered additionally.   
      
   On i386/x64, I have done lots of in-place upgrades, in one case starting at   
   Debian 3.0, and all worked fine - I don't know why is is recommended to do a   
   fresh install for new raspberry pi os versions.
