I see, thanks. Problem in my case is that, with the dist-upgrade running in a terminal in the GNOME session, I was unable to see how far the process actually is. Rebooting, consequently, left me with a black screen, and it took me a while to reboot, find a virtual terminal to log in and manually run dpkg --pending --configure to make sure _all_ the downloaded yet unconfigured packages were completely installed to make the system correctly start up again. Maybe the upgrade procedure should in some way take care of this case, even though I have no real idea how... - disable screen lock during upgrade altogether?
