dist-upgrade every day? I run apt-get update; apt-get upgrade every few days (from unstable). Only very rarely has it been a problem (something breaks, and doesn't get fixed until the next update round, presuming that the maintainer is that quick; had that problem once with SSH, and lost access until the next SSH update came out the next day). But why dist-upgrade every day? Don't you get the same effect by running it once, and then just doing upgrade?
