However simply running the script /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade does
take you to a newer major version. How is the naive[ish] user
supposed to tell the difference between:-
apt dist-upgrade
and:-
do-release-upgrade
I think dist-upgrade should be renamed (or an alias should be added)
to something like 'dep-upgrade' as that's what it does, it sorts out
dependencies.
