There is no strict alternative in apt. The closest would be `apt-get
upgrade` which does not install or remove dependencies. See
https://askubuntu.com/questions/117088/aptitude-safe-upgrade-equivalence-with-apt-get.

But there is also this bug which may be annoying
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=146207 (see also
http://www.boxever.com/controlling-os-upgrades-with-ansible).

I am not sure what the correct and expected behaviour would be. I think
it not obvious that an apt module requires aptitude (and I did not see
it in the documentation, but this may be my fault) but on the other
hand, I am not sure what the expected default behaviour of upgrade
should be.
