I share your distaste for Ubuntu, i should point out however that if you are using dist-upgrade you are probably doing it wrong. Ubuntu is NOT debian and doing things the debian way is probably not the best way of doing thing. The command to update and Ubuntu system to the latest release is using the do-system-upgrade command. behind the scenes it does indeed do a dist-upgrade, but it does a little more from what i can tell.
