Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.12
Severity: wishlist

It would be helpful if apticron would also report on packages which
apt-get dist-upgrade reports as being kept back.  For example, in
today's testing update, base-config somehow ended up in testing despite
a conflict with testing's version of tasksel (it requires the version in
stable), so it's automatically held back.  It would be nice to see this
in the apticron report.
