Bug#416239: upgrade-reports: upgrade report from Sarge Japanese environment to Etch
FWIW, here is an aptitude install command that partially fixes the problem
of packages being removed, and might also still work on server systems (not
yet tested):
aptitude install initrd-tools libfam0 xlibmesa-glu x11-common xfree86-common-
Hinting xfree86-common for removal earlier appears to cause aptitude to try
to upgrade its reverse-depends sooner instead of removing them. This brings
the number of package removals for me down to 187 from 558; KDE stays
installed, but GNOME still gets removed.
Still looking for something that would keep GNOME in place here, maybe
someone else has an idea?
