Title:
  Have option that runs 'update' and 'dist-upgrade' automatically

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As one can get very confused with all of the updates and upgrades, I
  think that it would be good if there was an option which would mean
  that APT would run something like:

      sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  The option could be something like:

      sudo apt-get full-upgrade

  Although I believe that that may be already taken, or at least with
  apt, not sure about apt-get, but something like that would do. And
  although one could just create an alias, which users who are not very
  experienced I think that a built in option that would just do it all
  for them would be good. So that there would be an easy option for new
  users to just run as a sort of command-line Software Updater
  experience equivalent, and it is also good for users who just don't
  want to run the same commands over and over again, and would prefer to
  just have one command.
