A quick look at man:/apt didn't show a '-s' from simulate being present, but
if you have aptitude installed, I know it supports that. But 'even' apt
upgrade should ask for a confirmation before doing an actual upgrade.
So if that looks sane, then go for it. If it doesn't, then don't.
And maybe stop using dist-upgrade by default?
The normal (safe-)upgrade is most of the time all you need.
