aptitude nukes autoremove packages directly in the upgrade run. apt-get can do this too, but it is disabled by default and deferred to an autoremove run… (as far as i know you can't disable it in aptitude). > I ran apt-get autoremove after the dist-upgrade, but it did not remove any > packages! You are bitten by the silly bug #594689 fixed in 0.8.1 and above which is not yet in testing. We are busy waiting currently a bit for the incoming bug-rate to stabilize and last translations updates to come in before bothering the release team again… (beside that i was a bit short on time thanks to a few exams).
