+<p>Here is a short update on my <a
+href="http://people.skolelinux.org/~pere/debian-upgrade-testing/">my
+Debian Lenny->Squeeze upgrade testing</a>. Here is a summary of the
+difference for Gnome when it is upgraded by apt-get and aptitude. I'm
+not reporting the status for KDE, because the upgrade crashes when
+aptitude try because of missing conflicts
+(<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/584861">#584861</a> and
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/585716">#585716</a>).</p>
+
+<p>At the end of the upgrade test script, dpkg -l is executed to get a
+complete list of the installed packages. Based on this I see these
+differences when I did a test run today. As usual, I do not really
+know what the correct set of packages would be, but thought it best to
+publish the difference.</p>

+<p>I was told on IRC that the xorg-xserver package was
+<a href="http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=commit;h=9c8080d06c457932d3bfec021c69ac000aa60120">changed
+in git</a> today to try to get apt-get to not remove xorg completely.
+No idea when it hits Squeeze, but when it does I hope it will reduce
+the difference somewhat.
