Yup, that is the way I see it as well. Technically I do not think that
updating kernel-images and some important libs can be handled without
doing a dist-upgrade. I am however not sure on this point, so do not
quote me on it.

I use the graphical updater only to do minor packages fixes and
similiar stuff. For updates that affect the "base-system" I tend to
use "dist-upgrade". That might be total overkill however. I really
don't know.
