Michael Biebl suggested to me on IRC, that I changed my automated +upgrade testing of the +Lenny +Gnome and KDE Desktop to do apt-get autoremove when using apt-get. +This seem like a very good idea, so I adjusted by test scripts and +can now present the updated result from today:

Running apt-get autoremove made the results using apt-get and +aptitude a bit more similar, but there are still quite a lott of +differences. I have no idea what packages should be installed after +the upgrade, but hope those that do can have a look.
