What's apt-get safe-upgrade? You should be safe enough with just a regular apt-get upgrade.

It's aptitude. The point is I do this rarely enough that I have to read a man page each time...
aptitude has a safe-upgrade, which doesn't remove packages unless they're unused.
Or the luxury of typing 'apt update' & 'apt upgrade' like a boss now and save some precious miliseconds of your life.

(otherwise cinnamon is broken since the release and latex is acting a little erratic also. In sid at least. You can't make an gnumelette without breaking some packages).
