If you don't set a Default Release or any other pinning configuration,
the next time you do an upgrade many of your installed packages will be
upgraded to the version available in testing, provided they don't
require the installation of any additional packages or the removal of
any. However, if a dist-upgrade is used instead your system will be
wholely upgraded to testing.

This would depend on how the package versions compared.
