It means that there is a new package available for those packages, but they
aren't being upgraded for some reason.  The most common reason is that the
new version depends on a package you don't have installed, and you are
doing a simple apt-get upgrade.  If you do apt-get dist-upgrade, it will be
willing to install new packages.  Alternatively, you could run apt-get
install the package which was kept back.
