Bob, It was my understanding that dist-upgrade was only needed to resolve issues that couldn't be resolved by upgrade. I have moved from wheezy to jessie with a simple aptitude update and didn't need the dist-upgrade. If this is incorrect I would love to know cause I ran into some issues with my latest attempt and am still playing with it trying to resolve the issues.
