[Bug 1060803] [NEW] Partial upgrade dialog contains confusing "continue"/"partial upgrade" buttons

[Marius Kotsbak]

Public bug reported:

I wondered when I first got this dialog what "continue" and "partial
upgrade" (and cancel) buttons means. I suspect that "partial upgrade"
means "apt-get dist-upgrade" and "continue" means "apt-get upgrade", but
I wan unsure, and unexperienced users are probably confused about what
to choose (probably partial upgrade?).
