generally you are supposed to use the upgrade manager (or it's
command-line equivalent "do-release-upgrade") to do upgrades since it
is supposed to have a bit of special code to deal with some upgrade
situations that apt-get dist-upgrade may not know.   By the time the
next LTS is available (let's assume 10.04), I think 8.10 will already
be EOLed, so the only valid upgrade from 8.04 will be 10.04,
lts-to-lts.
