I would NEVER do a dist-upgrade by itself.  Use this instead:

15 00 * * * apt-get update && apt-get -d -y dist-upgrade

That will cache your packages and you can run the dist-upgrade in the
morning when you get in, without downloading packages.

If your run a dist-upgrade automatically, you might wake up to a broken
system ;)
