Package: apt
Version: 2.7.14build2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The man pages do not make it clear that the full-upgrade and
dist-upgrade commands are aliases that perform the same operation.

In doc/apt.8.xml, only full-upgrade is mentioned but apt accepts both.

In doc/apt-get.8.xml, full-upgrade is not listed as an alias but is
mentioned under the update option where dist-upgrade is not.

Both man pages should list both commands as alternate terms, and all
references to the command in the synopsis and other sections should only
use the preferred term. Ideally, both documents would prefer the same
term, for consistency, but at least each should be self-consistent.

Regards,
Roy.
