I disagree, the simplest and arguably slightly safer is

    apt upgrade

Contrary to 'apt-get upgrade', 'apt upgrade' also installs new packages, 
but doesn't allow removals.

On a stable system I've yet to encounter an upgrade that also requires 
removals.

Even on unstable they are rare (I'm upgrading my unstable chroot almost 
daily with 'apt upgrade').

Besides, it's also shorter to type ;)

Kind regards,
Andrei
