I don't think so.
I am running jaunty and i always use dist-upgrade to update my system (and still i am on a jaunty)
Some time ago, i also used the think the same way. But after a little research, found the following
The only difference (i believe) between upgrade and dist-upgrade is that -
* upgrade = safe upgrade (does not upgrade packages that apt-get believes will break the system)
* dist-upgrade = full upgrade (forces all upgrades)
To upgrade to the latest release, i guess, the command is - 
do-release-upgrade
