Sorry, this is completely wrong. Actually the reason for naming this command safe-upgrade rather than upgrade is that it _will_ install new dependencies, and it will also remove automatically installed packages that are no longer needed. What it will not do is to remove packages that are marked as manually installed. Actually this behavior is exactly what I want, as this handles most transitions just fine without having to resort to the full-upgrade (= dist-upgrade) command that can remove important packages if you're not careful.
