AFAIR there was a time where aptitude didn´t recognize dist-upgrade to
encourage users to use full-upgrade, but I think this teaching attempt has
failed :)
Actually the aptitude names are more accurate, yet I didn´t switch either.
upgrade / safe-upgrade holds packages back if installing them would cause new
packages to be installed or installed ones to be removed. dist-upgrade / full-
upgrade upgrades these too.
