'apt-get dist-upgrade' tries to install unneeded packages

[Corey Hickey <bugfood-ml@fatooh.org>]

I don't know if this is amd64-specific, but it's only happening on my
amd64 Sid system, so I'm asking here first.

I have my system fully updated right now. When I run 'apt-get upgrade',
no packages are ready to install or held back because of dependencies.
When I run 'apt-get dist-upgrade', though, I get a list of 73 packages
that are to be installed. I don't want any of them, and I don't know why
apt-get wants to install them.

'aptitude full-upgrade' doesn't have this problem. If all else fails
I'll just switch to aptitude, but I'd rather know what's going on.

I don't have anything non-default in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

'apt-get -f install' doesn't try to do anything.

The following is a log of upgrading and the contents of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

Thanks,
Corey
