apt-get help
update - Retrieve new lists of packages
dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)
so after you add the new site in sources.list you would first update to
retrieve any new packages then ince those new packagves with the new
files were downloaded and indexed (or whatever apt-get does) then you
can tell it to dist-upgrade.
