dist-upgrade is capable of upgrading you to etch, but it depends
on what you have in your sources.list. If sources.lists
references "sarge", then dist-upgrade will not upgrade you to
etch. If it references "stable" then when etch is released you
will be upgraded to etch.

Because your sources.list references either sarge or stable, you
were not upgraded to etch/testing.
