Considering a discussion we had on IRC yesterday, it seems that this doc is partially incomplete. The Debian/Ubuntu section only refers to aptitude, but does not indicate how to do the upgrade with apt-get, althuogh this is the only tool available by default on Ubuntu, and is apparently recommended also by Debian now.
I think we should at least add instructions for apt-get, and maybe replace aptitude completely, since apt-get is available everywhere. Nicolas, I'll leave this up to you.

Ok, you're right. Even "apt-add-repository" has been removed from the last Ubuntu (12.04).

Are you sure this is sufficient, Nicolas? You mentioned having to use dist-upgrade, but I don't see that here...

If you want to upgrade all your packages, you can use apt-get dist-upgrade which will include rudder. But if you only want to upgrade rudder, dist-upgrade can't be used and this is why I didn't write it on the document.
