comparing dpkg --get-selections before and after is an easy way to see what new
packages have been installed, which have been upgraded, etc. But you *should*
be paying attention during the upgrade process.
dpkg will already prompt you to view a diff of a config file that is to be
changed if you have a modified version installed.
If you need anything more granular than this, perhaps install tripwire.
