I would think that it would be safe to do something like...
apt-get dist-upgrade >& /tmp/dist-upgrade.log & (csh variants)
apt-get dist-upgrade > /tmp/dist-upgrade.log 2>&1 (sh variants)
I'm pretty sure you can log out while these are running.
Then log back in, and type "tail -f /tmp/dist-upgrade.log"
to see how things are going.
If you re-direct the output to a file it should let you log out.
I think the dtach solution will be needed if you need to
log back in to supply input for interractions....
like if an upgrade script asks configuration questions.
