"dist-upgrade" does not simply mean "upgrade from one release to another".
It means to take extra things into account. Mainly, if upgrading a package
requires installing or removing another package, apt-get will not upgrade
it unless you specify "install" implicitly for the package, or do a
dist-upgrade, which forces upgrading all packages.
In a very unstable dist, it is quite common to be required to run
dist-upgrade throughout the life of it, simply because it is so dynamic
and changes frequently.
