Yes... I did not know "aptitude dist-upgrade" was different from "apt dist-upgrade". The woody aptitude manpage does not mention any command line directive, and the sid manpage does not document the dist-upgrade target, this is bug #268697. For woody the recommend way was to use dselect, but this is an interactive command so I could not use it in an automated test framework. FWIW, upgrading with dselect works, but installs all the recommends (as expected).
