Spoke too soon.. Should have tried running the whole list before
sending this out.. Apt-get's now instead trying to autoremove
*inkscape*, another of the very few packages I install by *_CHOICE_*
after debootstrapping Debian each time...
Examples of offending packages trying to autoremove inkscape right
now: *gparted* (OUCH!), libatkmm-1.6-1, libcairomm-1.0-1,
libgtkmm-3.0-1, and *pavucontrol* (ALSO OUCH!)
Just wanted to disclaim that so everyone knows to still BE VERY
CAREFUL as you upgrade Sid. Don't take your eye off that *autoremove*
advisement in each, your own *_CHOICE_* for Debian software package
managers....
