Maybe Curt refers to the following from
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgradingpackages

"The recommended way to upgrade from previous Debian releases is to use
the package management tool apt-get. In previous releases, aptitude was
recommended for this purpose, but recent versions of apt-get provide
equivalent functionality and also have proven to more consistently give
the desired upgrade results. "
