[snip] Don't remember what you are running (stable, testing, ...), but considering you run stable without changing your apt preferences a dist-upgrade will upgrade you to 'etch' when it will be release. While at first this seems like a good idea, such a major change should not be done unattended. Automatically upgrading with stable is not so dangerous as it would be with testing or unstable, as you get only security updates. But you never know... And the logging is a good idea.
