apt-get proposed something sensible, didn't check for gimp.
It dislikes for some reason anjuta, don't remember why.

we have several boxes to upgrade to squeeze, with very similar setup.
I was just looking at the current improvements thanks to the
xserver-xorg-core changes it no longer deinstalls xorg on apt-get
dist-upgrade.

didn't try some apt or aptitude first upgrade path as it seems
for me unnatural. somehow i still am attached to simple upgrades
on two goes (upgrade then dist-upgrade) and thus finding to
break that into steps is an unnecessary burden..

thanks
