Interesting.

The "apt-get dist-upgrade" option, compared to "apt-get upgrade"...

"upgrade" effects packages in place. It will also load new 
dependencies for what is in place.

"dist-upgrade" tells apt to delete new conflicts along with upgrading 
everything that is already in place.

I don't know of any reason that these would not work in Ubuntu the 
same as they work in Debian, but I do not use Ubuntu.
