'aptitude safe-upgrade' will upgrade safely, and will sometimes hold
back packages. 'aptitude dist-upgrade' will not. I think upgrade now
goes to safe-upgrade.
Neither will upgrade packages that have been put on hold
with "aptitude hold". That's what I'm asking about.
Sorry for the lack of clarity.
