'apt-get upgrade' is documented never to remove packages or install new
ones. Only dist-upgrade or dselect-upgrade will do that.
Packages which are removed from Debian won't be removed from your system
unless either you tell the packaging system to remove them or something
starts conflicting with the old package.
