Since you're running a mixed system, apt-show-versions is perfectly
correct in saying that you can upgrade from 0.37 to 0.38.
I don't see anything in the man page about an option similar to
"apt-get --target-release".

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
