It seems aptitude full-upgrade installs systemd-sysv (at least according
to a quick test here).

Is "aptitude upgrade" actually supposed to be used on dist-upgrades?

Again, from my POV the best we can do is to document in the release
notes how to do a proper dist upgrade (and how not to). Incidentally,
the release notes already recommend *not* to use aptitude [1].
