I'm not sure how apt-get dist-upgrade could lead to removal of so many packages. Anyway, what's happening is that the system is refusing to remove the running kernel, which is good. What I suggest you do is apt-get install -f like the system suggested. Next, apt-get install linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 initramfs-tools udev That should mark the kernel, udev, and initramfs-tools as manually installed, and prevent them from being automatically removed. Next, you'll probably want to apt-get install whatever was removed even though you wanted to keep it, such as the xorg stuff. Good luck.
