can I upgrade the whole build/RELEASE with the pkg_?

Can it be simply crontabbed like:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade          ?

can we do anything like 

apt-get dist-upgrade          ?

pkg_ gives one more control and shouldn't be deprecated, but the apt
way is much more efficient for an admin IMO.

Best
