Isn't that what "apt-get dist-upgrade" is for?

If you are really serious about checking things then you can install
apt-listchanges and set:

confirm=1

in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf and then apt will download the changeslogs and 
ask you to confirm whether you wish to apply them before proceeding.  If you 
say 'n' then it will abort.

Best of luck,
Chris
