'safe-upgrade' isn't a valid parameter for apt-get but for aptitude. For
aptitude 'upgrade' is deprecated in favour of 'safe-upgrade'.
'dist-upgrade' is necessary if 'upgrade' or 'safe-upgrade' would hold
back packages but you want to make the necessary transactions anyway.
For aptitude 'dist-upgrade' is deprecated in favour of 'full-upgrade'.
