Synaptic Package Manager provides two methods for marking packages for
upgrade:
Default Upgrade
The default upgrade method marks upgrades of installed packages only. If
the later version of a package depends on not installed packages or
conflicts with an already installed package, the upgrade will not be
marked.
Smart Upgrade (Dist-Upgrade)
The smart upgrade method tries to resolve package conflicts
intelligently. This includes installing additional required packages and
preferring packages with higher priority.
Smart upgrade is also known as dist-upgrade in the console tool apt-get.
Maybe that is what the songbird is tweeting about.
