thanks,
I added a preferences file, and tried an upgrade. It removed one package:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
libquicktime1 [2:1.0.0+debian-5 (now)]

Score is 190

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libquicktime0{a} 

the system isn't bad enough for a complete reinstall, so I think I'll wait for 
the release upgrade.. As long as everything works that I need to work, I can 
handle getting logged out once in a while, as long as that's all it does.
At least the apt_preferences had examples I could use!
