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?

Cheers,
Kristian
