apt-get upgrade or aptitude safe-upgrade shouldn't remove anything. For
the last few days I have been using Synaptic on sid, to try to find the
three or four packages which will upgrade without wanting to remove
anything, but I've got another page and a half held up at the moment.
And in 64-bit sid, openssl and lvm2 have been held up for bugs for
many weeks. It's not a quiet time.
