That's the major issue here: packagekit and/or gnome-software (I'm not
sure which of them is the relevant part here, most likely PK) doesn't
understand apt holds, and the problem resolver that gets used is too
willing to remove packages. It would work fine for stable-updates, and
probably OK for testing most of the time, but unstable gets transient
uninstallability too often (particularly now!) for an approach that
simple to work.
