 From man aptitude

full-upgrade
            Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version,  
removing
            or installing packages as necessary. This command is less
            conservative than safe-upgrade and thus more likely to perform
            unwanted actions. However, it is capable of upgrading packages  
that
            safe-upgrade cannot upgrade.

                Note
                This command was originally named dist-upgrade for  
historical
                reasons, and aptitude still recognizes dist-upgrade as a
                synonym for full-upgrade.
