No, 'dist-upgrade' will not upgrade to a new Ubuntu version - unless you
take additional measures (changing sources.list). And on Ubuntu it's
neither the recommended nor a supported way to do a release upgrade.
'dist-upgrade' will upgrade/install packages that would otherwise be
kept back due to changed dependencies. And that can easily happen
without upgrading to a newer distribution release. In fact, today's
update to bind is such a case.
