Questions after doing update and upgrade on Stretch
I had done:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
The tail end of the output was:

Before asking for confirmation to do the "upgrade" it said 3 packages
would not be upgraded.
If it said which packages, I didn't spot it.
I then reran with following result.
root@stretch-2nd:/home/richard# apt-get upgrade

Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
dconf-cli gir1.2-notify-0.7 libconfig9 libgtkspell3-3-0
libindicator3-7 mate-indicator-applet
mate-indicator-applet-common python3-psutil python3-setproctitle
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-image-686-pae xorg xserver-xorg
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

My questions:
1. In the first run, I don't understand:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-2-686-pae
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sda5
I: (UUID=5d0c821b-26b2-4d38-b7fe-dc7db1b72576)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.
As /dev/sda5 is my SWAP.
2. I don't understand any implications of:
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-image-686-pae xorg xserver-xorg
TIA
