What does it do besides of changing sources.list to point to the latest distro and running apt-get dist-upgrade?

It upgrades all the programs you have installed(which are not standard) and installs programs necessary for the new environment.

But that's what apt-get dist-upgrade does. What else besides that does the upgrade tool do?
To clarify my question: Ubuntu devs recommend to use the upgrade tool instead of dist-upgrade. Why? What else does it do?
