Here is a short update on my my
-Debian Lenny->Squeeze upgrade testing. 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
-(#584861 and
-#585716).
-
-
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.

I was told on IRC that the xorg-xserver package was
-changed
-in git 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.
