What works too.

apt(8) has this to say on this:
upgrade (apt-get(8))
upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages
currently installed on the system from the sources configured via
sources.list(5). New packages will be installed if required to satisfy
dependencies, but existing packages will never be removed.
So yes, "apt-get upgrade" and "apt upgrade" are different, that's
intended, and once again Debian project choose sane default behavior.
In this particular case, "linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64" was pulled as a
dependency of "linux-image-amd64", and old "linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64"
was not removed. Neat, isn't it?
