Well, install also upgrades if already installed. But you can run:
apt -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 libdebhelper-perl
and get back a load of info that should pin-point the problem.
As for the --with-new-pkgs suggestion, that only matters for the old
apt-get. For apt, plain upgrade pulls in new packages too, it just
won't remove things (whereas apt full-upgrade, the new name for apt
dist-upgrade, does).
