In my experience, "dist-upgrade" is more complete than "upgrade," because it 
can handle cases where dependencies bring in new packages that don't already 
exist.

For example, say you currently have package foo:1.0 installed. foo:1.0 has no 
dependencies. Now it's time to upgrade to foo:1.1, and this version has a new 
dependency on bar:0.9. "apt-get upgrade" will hold foo back, because bar is 
currently not installed on your machine. "apt-get dist-upgrade" includes a 
dependency resolver and will not only upgrade foo:1.0 to foo:1.1 but also 
install bar:0.9.
