Upgrading OS and Plesk remotely

I was about to ship back from the DC a Plesk 8.0.1 / Ubuntu 5.10 server to cleanly install to Plesk 8.1 / Ubuntu 6.06.

Never tried this before but thought I would just upgrade Ubuntu to 6.06 remotely and then upgrade Plesk via the autoinstaller command line. Seems to have worked with no errors so far. Although I'm not sure I would trust this to be a production server as I always like to do a full clean install of both the OS and Plesk between major OS upgrades.

I noticed that Plesk had the option of upgrading to 8.1 via the Updater but that wouldn't upgrade Ubuntu to 6.06 would it? I felt safer upgrading Ubuntu first though I thought this would trash Plesk.

Would using the Updater or command line autoinstaller have worked and been the better way to upgrade Plesk and the OS?

I think I'd still feel safer doing a clean install despite shipping the server back and forth, but am just curious as to what other's experiences have been when upgrading this way and if it's safe enough for a production server?
