Bug#931559: release-notes: inaccurately claims 'apt upgrade' doesn't install new packages



Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Hello,

Filling this as a bug in case the fix should be deferred until later 
(e.g. to give translators a chance to catch-up).

Probably due to a s/apt-get/apt/ the minimal upgrade section claims
'apt upgrade' doesn't install new packages.

While this shouldn't create any problems in practice, it might still 
surprise some users, so it should be fixed (eventually). Attached a 
minimal patch addressing this.

Slightly more intrusive: move the mention about new libraries from
'apt full-upgrade' a few paragraphs further down. I can come up with a 
patch if desired.

Alternatively the command could also be switched back to 'apt-get' in 
order to get the minimal upgrade to be as minimal as possible ;)

Kind regards,
Andrei
