Fine for me. You can also include both apt and aptitude on the
command-line if you want to ensure that both are upgraded.

I wish aptitude was more reliable in always proposing a solution (when
using the command line)... this certainly explains why people are
reluctant to recommend it and why we regularly mention apt-get as a
fallback.
Your patch is ok for me.
