what do you want to see in future apt versions ?

[Ralf Mardorf]

"dist-upgrade
           dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of
upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new
versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system"
- http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/apt-get.8.html

Maybe

sudo apt smart-upgrade

or

sudo apt upgrade --smart

or

sudo apt upgrade --full-resolve

instead off

sudo apt full-upgrade

IIRC the Synaptic Package Manager does also use the term "smart".
