you can't do a dist-upgrade today (and we explicitly avoid it in the
testing tools by pointing the sources.list to /dev/null [1]) since you
cant predict if there will be a package upgrade that falls over on hard
links into the writeable space (if there is such a package inside the
silo there are usually special install instructions for testers [2]).

for silo testing we simply expect testers to use the latest possible
image they can so that updated system dependencies would be shipped
inside.
