If you want to be picky, yes. The two use different holding mechanisms
and the release notes recommend checking both systems (if aptitude is
installed, it isn't by default) for any held packages.
Only one is subsequently recommended for the upgrade, of course, and
it hasn't always been the same one for the last few upgrades. Though an
upgrade is normally done in at least two stages, so both could be used
if desired. Probably not a great idea.
