To my understanding "apt-get upgrade" asks independent of the change in 
disk space, i.e. even if there would be no change, it would ask.

"apt-get upgrade" would not install new packages, so you could use it 
with the -y option. And if you want apt-get to also install new 
packages, like a new kernel, use "apt-get dist-upgrade" without the -y 
option.
