As Erwan says, this is 'normal'. Especially ATM due to the t64
transition.
As you've found out, paying attention to removals is a Good Idea(tm).
Sometimes those removals cannot be avoided. Of course, removal of
'library' to be replaced with 'libraryt64' is absolutely fine.
If the upgrade wants to remove (say) half of the base packages of KDE,
waiting a few days would be prudent. :-D
You may also notice quite a few packages being reported as "local or
obsolete". This is expected as certain packages have had to be removed
from testing to enable a smoother flow of the transition. Many will
return in due course. I do know of one exception, however; deborphan
has bee removed from testing and, as things stand, it looks like it
might be permanent - I fully understand why, but I shall mourn its
passing, as I find it to be quite handy for weeding out cruft.
