Not necessarily at all. Sometimes upgrading packages requires
installing new packages, or removing existing packages; these
are things that apt-get upgrade is disinclined to do
(apt-get dist-upgrade goes further than apt-get upgrade, but
from memory it still won't remove packages).
Try
# apt-get -s install flwm kbd kdelibs2g moonlight procps
to see what apt-get thinks is required to upgrade these
packages; if it looks OK to you, run it again without
the "-s".
