True, but "the worst that is going to happen" is actually completely
undefinable, as you could always have a previously unknown bug.

You can have major problems with a libc upgrade _within_ a release.  I've
stopped allowing libc upgrades automatically.  I always remove libc6-i686,
upgrade and reinstall libc6-i686 because I've more than once been unable to
use any programs, or reboot, after ending up with different versions of
libc6 & libc6-i686
