If you were to use aptitude upgrade the command would work but you get 
an info message
to the fact the upgrade is depreciated and safe-upgrade is preferred, 
something to that effect.
In any case either command will complete and I don't know if there is 
any consequence of
using plain old upgrade.  Dist-upgrade goes a long way back(to Debian 
Woody for me) and
I was always told it's primary purpose is to upgrade to the next version 
and that's all I've used
it for.  Of cource, that's not the ubuntu way these days.

It does, of course, as I've copied same commands from the net and am too 
lazy to edit them to
aptitude.
