I personnaly do it like this : i always use upgrade, and once that is
done, if they were hold packages, i install them one bye one (or in
block) and verify that nothing untoward happens. This is the safest way
tyo upgrade, as you will catch any new package which will remove huge
parts of your installed packages. Usually such problems are due to a lag
in new packages upload or something and will usually go away in a few
days.
The ideal would be a new apt keyword which would enable to install new
package but not remove old ones.
