Then removal of blocking packages are equally (if not more) sensible than
installing new ones. There is a well designed clear cut distinction between
apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade. "upgrade" upgrades the system
non-intrusively, while "dist-upgrade" does that intrusively as its name
suggests. OTOH apt upgrade's behavior is in-between, semi-intrusive, and spoils
that clear-cut distinction. Therefore I think apt-get works more sensible than
apt in this regard.
