I thought this looked very promising, but it has zero apparent effect.
'apt-get dist-upgrade' simply proposes to remove the new metapackage,
along with fglrx-driver et cetera.
Yes, even with 'Priority: essential'. Possibly that's a side effect of
something else (the default of 'Section: misc', maybe?), but I have
nothing to really support that idea.
