The man page of apt-get is very clear on this:
--- cut ---
upgrade
upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages
currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in
/etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new
>>> versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circum-
>>> stances are currently installed packages removed, or packages
>>> not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of
currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without
changing the install status of another package will be left at
their current version. An update must be performed first so that
apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.

So Panu is right on this.
