"apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade all packages, but won't upgrade to a 
new distribution.  For example, if you run it on Precise it'll upgrade 
all installed packages to the latest versions available on Precise, but 
will *not* upgrade from Precise to some newer version of the 
distribution.  This is exactly what you want.

This recipe looks right to me.  It's like the official docs here:
