Thanks.  This was fully successful.

The only glitch I had was after the upgrade to hipster-2014.1 .  The
new GRUB menu entry didn't work with my serial console, leading to a
reboot loop.  When I edited the menu to remove `splashimage' and to
replace `console=graphics' with `console=ttyc', it booted nicely into
the new hipster version.  The upgrade to hipster-2015 handled my
serial console settings correctly.
