Jo kör du dist-upgrade istället för upgrade så är det ju en annan femma. Man-sidan säger så här:

upgrade
    upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages
    currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in
    /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions
    available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are
    currently installed packages removed, or packages not already
    installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed
    packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status
    of another package will be left at their current version. An update
    must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of
    packages are available.

dist-upgrade
    dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
    also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of
    packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it
    will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of
    less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade command may remove
    some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of
    locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also
    apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general settings
    for individual packages.


Vid "uppgradering" från "stable" till "testing" tycker jag att följande är viktigt att ta med sig från dist-upgrade.
   "...handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages..."

Förändringar i beroendekedjor och versionsändringar som sådant är mycket vanligare mellan "stable"<->"testing"<->"unstable" än inom respektive - framförallt för "stable" då.
