  when you run:

$ apt-get upgrade

it will not add any new programs, but when you run:

$ apt-get dist-upgrade

it will tell you which are new of the updates it is
going to perform (if any).

if you want the gui approach synaptic will show you 
which packages are new in the repository (under the
status option).

  those are the only two things i use for upgrades
these days (i purged aptitude a while ago after i
realized i never use it any longer).
