Hmm... missing in stretch. Present in jessie. Maybe stretch decided to turn it on by default? (Stretch documents a "--no-show-upgraded" option with no short equivalent. Also, the -u option is accepted without complaint. Backward compatibility?) Also, the -u in "apt-get -h" was from jessie... my bad, for reading the man page on stretch, but then using apt-get -h on jessie. I didn't expect there to be such a large difference between the two. So, testing... yes. It does appear that "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get -u upgrade" both do the same thing on stretch. I'll probably still type the -u anyway, out of habit, and because I have many older systems that need it.
