Does it matter as long as it still works? I'm inclined to believe the Raspberry Pi folks when they tell us that it's equivalent. You could use apt to list installed versions on both installs. I can assure you that Moode 4.3 still works after updating as per my post above.

I'm glad it has worked in your case :-) but the manual makes no guarantees, and it specifically mentions that dist-upgrade only bumps the packages that are already installed so definitely not = latest release image.

The other problem with it is that it creates another support vector because its a live upgrade and for sure there will be failures in the field due to repositories being busy, SDCard out of disk space, network interruptions etc.
