It doesn't.  I understand your fear, but your last sentence is simply 
not true.  I have dist-upgraded many Debian and Ubuntu machines via ssh, 
and problems have been negligible.

In Debian, aptitude dist-upgrade is designed to /just work/ between 
releases.  That's the point and is part of the essence of the system. 
If it doesn't, it's a bug.  Someone more knowledgeable than me will have 
to confirm, but I suspect it is the case in Ubuntu as well.
