(slight digression) I wish that the apt-get and aptitude developers
could harmonize their verbs so that we could have all three behaviors
in both apt-get and aptitude:

"[apt-get|aptitude] upgrade" would be the equivalent "apt-get upgrade"
"[apt-get|aptitude] full-upgrade" would be the equivalent of "aptitude
safe-upgrade"
"[apt-get|aptitude] dist-upgrade" would be the equivalent of "apt-get
dist-upgrade"/"aptitude full-upgrade"

I don't see in what way "apt-get diet-upgrade" and "aptitude
full-upgrade" differ. What am I missing?
