What ideas do you guys have to circumvent this?
1.) Package splitting is mostly done, and we will not introduce many new
packages in the future, so this problem will not show up frequently.

2.) We have an upgrade button on the GUI

3.) We provide upgrade instructions

4.) Forum contains tons of hints, because we actively help users
running into that problem.

more ideas?

The new `apt` tool, which is a slightly higher level replacement (or interface) of the `apt-get` and `apt-cache` tools. Its `upgrade`command has actually an slightly other meaning than the one from `apt-get`, it installs and pulls in new packages (but never removes ones unlike
dist-upgrade) and thus addresses this issue also.

apt was introduced in Jessie and should be the way to go, it's also shorter to write :)

cheers,
Thomas
