(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.
