You have the latest stuff... unless that means uninstalling some package.  At 
some point within a version transition you want to fire `apt-get 
dist-upgrade` (or aptitude dist-upgrade if that's still the preferred 
method -I still didn't read the lastest release notes), not "just" upgrade.

Cheers.
