--no-act won't actually do the upgrade, it will just show you what it
will do. -V looks to be a sarge-ism, which shows the versions of
upgraded and install packages. I personally have switched over to
aptitude quite some time ago, which actually keeps logs of what
actions it performed during a install/upgrade.
