Bug#301587: apt: Odd recommendation on dist-upgrade (upgrade gets it right)
Looking through those bugs a large number of them seem to refer to package
holds. I don't think I have any on my system. Running 'dpkg -l' shows all
the lines as starting with 'ii' which I think confirms that. Is there
anything else I can do to help here or is this just a known issue that
doesn't have a programmable solution at the moment.
