How do you define "minimal" for this purpose?
What command did you run for the upgrade?
Creating a minimal etch i386 chroot with debootstrap and upgrading with
'apt-get dist-upgrade', I'm not able to reproduce this. Nor am I able to
reproduce it using one of my configured build chroots (i.e., with
build-essential and some extras installed).
