What happens to questions that need answering, though, such as whether to update a conf file and such? I know apt remembers previous answers and can be setup to not ask again, but you may need to change your answers or answer questions for new packages. It would be great to be able to answer them on one machine in a group of identically configured machines and then copy those answers over for use on the rest of the machines.

better use apt-get dist-upgrade


it also updates packages with "new" dependencies, resolving them on the fly.
