I think if you were on 6.06 (Dapper Drake) they're making a migration
pathway (as they're both LTS releases), but if you were to upgrade
from 6.10, yes, you would have to go through the intermediate
versions.
I *highly* recommend against that though.
Not only will you be downloading at least a GB of packages you'll only
use for a few moments, you'll risk conflicts and end up with a system
that has lots of 'cruft' in your settings.
What I would recommend doing in your case:
- back up ~
- make note of the non-default install packages you use
- do a clean install
- selectively put items back in ~ (e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.
hidden directories)
- install the extra packages you want
- tweak settings as needed
