Some things may not upgrade ever without dist-upgrade, as I
understand.  But certainly doing an upgrade before a dist-upgrade is
not a bad path.  Without being able to point a finger at exactly why
the world works this way, I've found that taking several smaller steps
is less risky than one big one, even if the destination appears to be
the same.
