Well for some time I used upgrade, then dist-upgrade, but often that was two
steps instead of one, as a dist-upgrade would just have been fine, so I
reversed it. I try dist-upgrade and carefully check what it would do… just
this one time I didn´t. I think the output was too large and the removes were
already out of the screen completely. I usually start the dist-upgrade and
then head elsewhere, then look back to look at the solution apt proposes.
Today I just didn´t scroll back.

Yeah, I do think this makes sense.
I don´t complain. Its on my own to carefully check dist-upgrade proposals,
especially on a Debian Sid machine, and in case I don´t, I am the one
responsible for fixing things up :).
