Well, first thing I had *all* the automatically installed packages marked as
manually installed by aptitude, so I had to press "M" on more than 100 entries
(perhaps a lot more): it is unrelated but it was not a good start.
For the rest you are probably right.
However the dependencies are quite maximal, everything is "depend", where in
many places a "recommended" would have been enough, IMO.
So there is no flexibility: either you install everything, or you have to
select everything manually.
Also it is not my computer: I, myself, follow sid... Hence I've seen all the
changes that have been done those last months... And though it is not rocket
science (to the point i can be just plain mistaken); but when I've done the
upgrade, many times version numbers where "looking wrong".
I am, at the moment, trying to complete the upgrade, and that without going
into all the details.
I'll keep you informed.
