Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with apt 1.2.9 and on upgrading a package directly with "apt-get install" apt shows that the dependencies get installed and upgraded if they are already installed while this looks a bit confusing (I think showing that they get upgraded is enough). Here is an example output:
root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install console-setup
Reading package lists... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:

The following packages will be upgraded:
