It's NOT a workaround.  It is correct usage.   In aptitude if you want 
_everything_ upgraded, you have to say so,  otherwise it will safe-upgrade 
and nothing will be removed, and some things will not be updated.  I am 
suggesting using correct aptitude procedure before trying workarounds. 

The reason for the behavior is apt-get != aptitude.
