I'm unsure. The "sbuild-update" script is thought of as a "apt-get" wrapper in
the sense that it runs the apt-get command you want inside the chroot. And if
you run "apt-get upgrade" on your host system without running "apt-get update"
first then also nothing happens.
Also, specifying "--upgrade" alone can make sense if you run it after running
"--update" like this:
$ sbuild-update --update unstable
$ sbuild-update --upgrade unstable
But what I have no doubt about is, that the documentation can be better. If you
would like to file a bug that it could be better documented how this part of
sbuild works, then please file a bug about it. Thank you!

Yes, that is the same command using long options.

Cool! Have fun! :)
