Well it will only upgrade the packages that have newer versions
available which in "Woody" are mostly security updates. If you
need newer versions of software (up-to-date) try mixing "testing"
or "unstable/sid". Although, I wouldn't recommend it personally.
These are too much of a "moving targets". I'm happy as a clam
with my Woody :)
Also, you might want to give http://www.backports.org/ a visit
for newer versions of software that have been "ported" back in
to "Stable" from "Testing/Unstable".
