Nope. You're quite correct.
The thing is, the xlib packages, and the glibc packages, are simply
upgrades. So they are auto-processed by our archive maintainance program,
dinstall. The 125 kernel, and the kernel packages, are new packages, which
mean they need to be manually installed.
Developers can snarf them from master.. (which is how come some of us have
them...)
Actually, I'm seeing problems now... 'halt' and 'shutdown -h' both appear
to terminate more or less instantly, without changing run-level probably..
