If apt wants to remove packages, it is because of dependency problems.
Your self-built packages probably need to be rebuilt against updated
libraries. Some packages get removed because they conflict with newer
ones and they should be removed.
I always use "apt-get -u", so that I can check what apt is going to do.
If you have a large number of packages that need upgrading, I would let
apt remove things. I would then reinstall anything I needed that has
been removed. This will sometimes show up dependency conflicts; if they
can't be resolved, some package must be sacrificed, or else built from
source.
