apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade without notice

I want to do simulation of dist-upgrade without notice about simulation:

NOTE: This is only a simulation! apt-get needs root privileges for real execution. Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated, so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

I found that there is some option that turned on by default: "APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note". I want turn it off by adding option:

--no-show-user-simulation-note

But in this case I got error message:

Command line option --no-show-user-simulation-note is not understood

How can I manage this issue?
