Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
The list of libs and packages removed by the upgrade is extensive, and too long
to just copy down. I rate this problem as severe rather than just important..

It is normal for dist-upgrade to unstable to offer to remove packages when
in the middle of a transition. Please wait until the transition is
complete, use 'apt-get upgrade' instead of 'apt-get dist-upgrade', or track
testing instead of unstable.
Please also note that the upgrade-reports pseudopackage is for tracking
information about upgrading between releases. If there are upgrade problems
with a particular package in unstable, this should normally be filed as a
bug against the package in question.
