That doesn't even make sense, because it's routine Debian maintenance to run
apt-get upgrade regularly. I have it in a daily cron job. That's how you get
updates and patches without pain, and keep everything current. At what magic
point must you stop before running a dist-upgrade? I'm starting to think
Ubuntu folks don't understand Debian very well.
