Thanks for reporting this bug. The confusion between the terms Update and 
upgrade is also discussed in bug #734026, so I am marking this as a duplicate 
of that bug. Feel free to comment there. As a summary from there, to have a 
consistent terminology, it would be best to have update used for updating 
packages on the same version of the OS, and use upgrades only for distribution 
upgrades to be able to differentiate between the two actions as the two are 
very different use-cases, with major differences in the outcome and possible 
dangers, whereas updates as you are using it (update repo/sources list) does 
not mean anything by itself, it is only a part of the process, which does not 
make any sense alone. See the discussion on the other bugs thread for the 
reasons.
