apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove non-installed packages

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org>]

I'm currently using XFree86 4.2 and I don't want to upgrade the X server
and X applications for the moment, because of bugs. I've added the
following to my /etc/apt/preferences file:

Package: xfree86-common
Pin: version 4.2.*
Pin-Priority: 950

Package: xserver-common
Pin: version 4.2.*
Pin-Priority: 950

Package: xserver-xfree86
Pin: version 4.2.*
Pin-Priority: 950

to stay with 4.2 (I don't know if there is a better solution).
But apt-get dist-upgrade -s says:

[...]
Remv x-window-system-core (4.3.0-7 Debian:testing)
[...]

whereas only 4.2.1-12.1 is currently installed. Is it a bug in
apt-get or what...?
