+<p>Update 2018-07-08: Thanks to Paul Wise, I am aware of two
+alternative ways to handle this.  The "unattended-upgrades
+--minimal-upgrade-steps" option will try to calculate upgrade sets for
+each package to upgrade, and then upgrade them in order, smallest set
+first.  It might be a better option than my above mentioned script.
+Also, "aptutude upgrade" can upgrade single packages, thus avoiding
+the need for using "dpkg -i" in the script above.</p>
