But after that, "aptitude safe-upgrade" put things in order. Between the two upgrade commands, I got to a desktop with no shell, where even logging out doesn't work properly (although I did manage to run some programs by adding panels manually). I had to change to XFCE in order to run aptitude and fix it, as even konsole wasn't working. I usually use aptitude for upgrades, but in big transitions like this it has a tendency to choke, and then I resort to apt. I'm not sure if there's a general lesson in this that's fit for the Wiki. Maybe a list of packages to check for ("if your upgrade doesn't have x,y, and z then it is incomplete"). Anyway, all seems well now. (I have signal-desktop installed from outside Debian, and it needed a manual quirk as well; does that fit there?) Thanks to packagers and developers for all their work, and thanks to members of this list for all the info, Shai.
